Featured Florida County of the Month
Pinellas County!
St. Pete-Clearwater (Pinellas County) continues to be a growing market for feature film, TV, commercial, and digital media production on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Recent projects filmed in the area have gone on to be distributed by Netflix, Utopia, and other major networks and streaming services around the world. Offering picturesque and diverse backdrops primarily centered about urban views, waterfront vistas, and sugar white sands and emerald waters that make the destination the home to America’s Favorite Beaches — the area remains a low-cost option for stunning Florida-based locations, with no film permit fees. By adopting a regional 10-20% cash rebate program, St. Pete-Clearwater, Fla. is one example of how productions can continue to benefit from incentive offerings in the Sunshine State.
