The film commission is currently working with five potential projects. We're working with location scouts and producers to narrow down location searches so productions can happen in our region.
If anyone has a recommendation for any of the needs listed below, please email filmcommission@me.com with a link, photo and contact information. We will forward your email to the location scout/manager. They will follow up with you or the contact info listed. Please note that the film commission does not get involved in location negotiations. We simply hope to create mutually beneficial outcomes with the hope of bringing more economic development and jobs to the region.
