FILM crews have been descending on Buckinghamshire despite an ongoing strike action in the movie industry.

Buckinghamshire locations have been busy with mystery filming recently, including one in Chesham on yesterday for a new awareness campaign. 

Filming is set to take place in the heart of Haddenham today (September 28).

A film crew can be spotted between 11am and 3pm on Churchway, but it is not known what the filming is for.

A source within the film industry, who asked not to be named, said smaller productions and TV dramas have carried on filming throughout the SAG actors' strike, because less-well known actors are likely to not be members of the SAG actors' union.

Although the strike has predominantly affected US productions, a number of big-name UK actors are also members of the union, he said. 

The labour dispute with other movie industry unions also involved in the US is over the impact of streaming, use of AI and compensation and digital recreation.

The source also told the Free Press the filming of the new Star Wars in the UK has been halted and many crew members involved in its production have been left without a job until filming resumes.
