The Monterey County Film Commission was established by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors in 1987 to attract and facilitate film productions for economic development. The film commission estimates more than $134 million in positive economic impact has come into Monterey County communities from on-location film productions since it began.

The organization seeks volunteer board members from all parts of Monterey County, especially from Salinas, South County, and North County, and those with nonprofit experience and diverse fields of interest.
