There’s more to the Sunshine State than gators, mangrove trees, and, well, sunshine. With the help of Orlando’s Economic Development Commission, filmmakers and the actors they employ are given plenty of reasons to create their next big project in central Florida.
The Metro Orlando Film Commission seeks to make the state a desirable location for feature films, television shows, and new media. In assisting local production companies in the development of both film and digital media, the commission provides enviable support to network artists. Factor in weather that rivals L.A.’s, with temperatures resting reliably in the 70s and 80s, allowing for year-round shooting, and Florida’s a solid contender for film production.
“The Orlando Film Commission really works with each production as an extension of their production team,” says Sheena Fowler, Orlando film commissioner. The commission upholds a stellar reputation when it comes to assisting local projects, receiving glowing testimonials from visiting directors and producers. “Once someone works with our office, they want to bring their next project here.”
Among the commission’s benefits is one-stop permitting for location
