Hey everyone!
I’m new to the group, but I’ve been lurking for a bit. Since there are so many pros in here, I was hoping to pick someone's brain on something if possible.
--> Is there a specific type of organization out there—maybe at the state or regional level in the US—that functions like a Film Commission? I'm thinking of a non-profit run by industry professionals, funded by the government or local authorities, whose whole job is to attract productions (movies, TV series, commercials, music videos, etc.) to their area. Ideally, they'd help with everything from navigating paperwork and securing funding to making the right connections, all to help promote the region.
If a dedicated Film Commission doesn't exist in a certain area,
who usually handles that stuff in the States?
Is there anyone actually doing that kind of work here?
Thanks in advance for the help!
