Drama Portfolio

At Northern Fortress, great drama means more than just storytelling—it’s a commitment to truth, authenticity, and social purpose.

Why Our Drama Matters

Authentic Northern Representation
From the soil of Skipton's allotments to the hustle and bustle of Leeds, our settings and characters live, breathe, and reflect real Northern life. Our stories aren’t staged—they are lived.

Socially Conscious Storytelling
Each project tackles issues that matter—identity, immigration, gender, mental health, consent—encouraging meaningful conversations and nuanced representation.

Talent from the North
We collaborate with local screen talent—actors, writers, directors, crew—to champion homegrown voices and nurture a more inclusive screen industry.

Backed by Industry Champions
From grassroots funding to national partnerships, our films have been supported by organisations like the BFI, Rope Ladder Fiction and Bradford Council. Their backing helps us bring authentic, socially conscious Northern drama to life—proof that our stories resonate far beyond Yorkshire.
