Following a red carpet launch in Stroud the video was viewed on Facebook over 250,000 times in the first 3 days.

Sara Chardin, Tourism Officer for the Stroud District said: "While we aim to entice visitors from far and wide, we hope the film will also encourage people to live, work and play here.

"The film is not just for members of the tourism industry to use as a marketing tool, but for all sorts of industries including estate agents, retailers and colleges, as well as big businesses to use for recruitment drives."

The film has been produced by award-winning, local film-maker Nick Turner of Nick Turner Photography and edited by Five Films. Nick Turner has used techniques such as filming by drone and time-lapse to show the area off at its best.
