CO Film Commision: Bringing Hollywood to Colorado
In an earlier episode we interviewed Kevin Shand, Executive Director of the Colorado Film Commission.
Shand’s mission is to bring film production to the state of Colorado. With it comes jobs for Colorado residents, a boost to the state’s economy during filming, and long-term tourism benefits due to increased exposure to Colorado’s cities and natural wonders.
The decision to bring film production to a certain location depends on multiple factors, including the quality of talent and crews, tax incentives and, of course, marketing. If you want to see how Colorado promotes itself as a location for filmmaking, check out the video below.
