Soho is a centre of the independent film and video industry as well as the television and film post-production industry. Audio post duo White Lightning (Robbie Weston and Rick Dzendzera) opened two audio post-production facilities in different parts of Soho between 1978 and 1987: Silk Sound at 13 Berwick Street, and The Bridge Facilities at 55-57 Great Marlborough Street. Silk Sound was acquired by Bubble TV in 2010, and was rebranded under Bubble's banner in 2018, while The Bridge went defunct in 2009. White Lightning also opened a third studio at 16 Dufours Place, named Space Facilities, in late 1995. However, Space closed in 2008, just a year before The Bridge did. Twentieth Century House in Soho Square was built in 1937 for Twentieth Century Fox. Since 1947, Soho has also been home to De Lane Lea Studios, which is currently owned by Warner Bros. The British Board of Film Classification, formerly known as the British Board of Film Censors, has been based in Soho Square since 1950. Soho's key fibre communications network has been managed by Sohonet since 1995, which connects the Soho media and post-production community to British film studios such as Pinewood and Shepperton, along with other locations worldwide include HBO and Warner Brothers. In the 2010s, research commissioned by Westminster City Council showed 23 per cent of the workforce in Soho worked in the creative industries.
