Miami has no stand-in. And now there are even more reasons to film in Miami, including several new film incentives.

Filming in Miami-Dade County now provides the production industry with cost-benefit savings. Recognizing the economic impact resulting from the film and production industry, Miami-Dade County and municipalities such as the City of Miami Beach and the City of North Miami have introduced local film and entertainment production incentives to attract projects to Greater Miami & Miami Beach.

There's a reason the production and entertainment industry flocks to Miami. It's more than just our inimitable style and dazzling year-round weather. Our picture-perfect locations, stellar production crews, deep talent base, ancillary support facilities and businesses, and film-friendly attitude make filming here a pleasure. We're also proud of the fact that Miami itself is a famous star!

We know that show biz is a 24-hour gig. So are we. We'll give you round-the-clock location and logistics assistance, access to multi-jurisdictional permitting, government liaison, production information and referral services. We are committed to providing the very best service and assistance to the film, television, music, commercial production and still photography industries.
