QUICK STATS: 300% INCREASE IN CAR BOOKINGS
As the entertainment industry faces turbulent times, with many production houses adopting a "survive to 2025" mindset, Silverstein Locations has witnessed a remarkable upswing in one key area—a 300% increase in action vehicle bookings in 2024. While overall film production has slowed, there’s been a significant rise in enquiries for our speciality cars, demonstrating that even amidst challenging conditions, the demand for top-tier, unique filming assets remains strong.
A Glimmer of Recovery: Surge in Car Enquiries
Despite the film and TV sector grappling with reduced budgets and delayed projects, we've observed an encouraging surge in car bookings and vehicle-related enquiries this year. This uptick signals that while large-scale productions may be taking a cautious approach, there’s still an appetite for authentic, high-quality automotive assets that can add value to smaller, more agile shoots.
Among the standout projects this year were:
Kai Havertz, the celebrated footballer, recently featured in stylish car content for AMG utilising our portfolio for action vehicles. This shoot gave beautiful insight into Kai’s lifestyle and showcased a sleek AMG G-Wagon.
Additionally, the iconic Sunderland FC enlisted our services for a promotional video, using one of our action vehicles to elevate their latest kit launch and bring fans even closer to the action. The project showcased a classic throwback to the 1991 red Golf GTI.
These collaborations highlight how niche productions continue to thrive by leveraging unique assets, even as the broader industry navigates uncertain waters.
