EON Productions has revealed they are supporting the National Film and Television School (NFTS) with the construction of The Cubby Broccoli Building in Beaconsfield which is set to open in 2027. Named after founding producer Albert R. ‘Cubby’ Broccoli, the building plays a central role in the school expansion and will support future generations of film and television makers and games creators, with new courses in Costume Design, Hair and Make-Up and Virtual Production. And for the first time, will provide on-site accommodation for disabled students.

Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson contributed to a specially commissioned time capsule to be placed within the foundations of the new building with a letter addressed to future NFTS Producing students. The capsule will be re-opened in 2071, to celebrate the School’s centenary, and also contains a document from the NFTS archives, detailing Cubby Broccoli’s financing of its Production and Facilities department in 1986, a generous donation that reflected his enduring belief in the importance of creative infrastructure and the filmmakers it continues to support.

Michael G.Wilson and Barbara Broccoli added: “Our father, Cubby Broccoli, deeply believed in craftsmanship, collaboration and the art of storytelling. It is so meaningful to see his name indelibly linked with the NFTS, an institution that shares those values and is dedicated to nurturing future talent. The School plays a vital role in the industry and we are honoured to mark this moment in its history.”
