There's a great history of filmmaking in Monterey County, and a wealth of film locations for features, commercials, television, and advertising productions.
A nonprofit organization, the Monterey County Film Commission promotes our area’s locations, crew and businesses to the film industry, and offers assistance to productions on-location. Checkout our Locations Library, view videos of "Priceless Locations" and get details on film permits and more.
You'll also find our local events, film industry educational programs, movie history and Reel Friends of the Film Commission membership information.
