New York, Rome's Cinecittà, Hong Kong and "Bollywood" notwithstanding, California is the indisputable world capital of film. But not all filming in the state takes place within a 25-mile radius of downtown Burbank or Culver City. The California Countryside offers virtually every one of the world's climate zones and topographical types, from mountain crests to coastline, from dense forests to deserts. The Countryside's built environment includes several hundred years' worth of places, old and new in a variety of looks and architecture: western outposts and ghost towns, missions, gold rush towns, forts, ranches, rail depots, etc. The following is a list of film commissions that represent many of our member destinations. They're a good place to start to find the best locations for your next feature film, video or TV.
