I have worked as a location filming conservator for almost 30 years, across many historic houses, palaces and museums, largely focused on filming in sensitive interiors.

As Helen Smith ACR, I empower heritage locations, including historic interiors, to be accessible through film & TV production in such a way that our experience & enjoyment can be maximised, whilst securing & protecting that heritage for the future. 

I work with conservators, house managers & location managers /scouts to have the confidence to make good decisions for the location and to know when & how to get the help they need to keep fragile heritage assets safe while maintaining the artistic integrity of the production.

I support location managers to understand the opportunity and ramifications of their choosing a heritage location, and to ensure that they get the best opportunities for their filming.
