Filming in Miami Just Got Better

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

Filming projects in Miami-Dade 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 City of Miami Beach and City of North Miami, have introduced local film and entertainment production incentives to attract projects to Greater Miami.

There's a reason the production and entertainment industry flocks to Greater Miami and the Beaches. 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.

As a leader in the film industry, Greater Miami and the Beaches takes pride in ensuring the safe resumption of filming in our community. We have launched the state-of-the-art, #PracticeSafeSetsMiami program, that includes over 80 hotels offering everything from sequestering scenarios for crew/talent, to using their ballrooms and restaurants to build your sets. We will make sure you have all options available to make your shoot safe, secure and successful!
