The CFC supports film, television, and commercial productions of all sizes and budgets by providing one-stop support services including location and troubleshooting assistance, permits for filming at state-owned facilities, and access to resources including an extensive digital location library. The CFC also administers the state’s Film & Television Tax Credit Program and serves as the primary liaison between the production community and all levels of government (including local, state, and federal jurisdictions) to facilitate filming in-state.
Our vast array of tools and resources will help you navigate all sorts of production issues, from work permits to on- set safety. Find links and contact info for relevant government agencies, industry associations, guilds and unions, production directories, entertainment job listings and more. Find useful charts for studio zones weather and college locations to name a few.
