Commerce’s Film Office strives to increase the number of film-related projects in North Carolina, thereby directly fueling the economies in many North Carolina communities.
Communities in active production areas such as Wilmington, Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville have seen their populations grow with the arrival of production personnel who want to escape the hectic life of other popular filmmaking venues including Los Angeles or New York, while still retaining their chosen professions.
Often, auxiliary businesses are created to cater to their tastes and preferences while these new North Carolinians frequently give back to the community by teaching the craft of filmmaking at local colleges and universities.
In addition, the Film Office maintains an electronic and printed directory of film industry professionals that serves as a hiring reference for projects in the state.
