Florida offers facilities for film and television production, ranging from large, established complexes to smaller, independent soundstages. These facilities support pre-production, filming, and post-production processes. For example, a production might utilize a soundstage in Miami for principal photography and then engage a post-production house in Orlando for editing and visual effects.
The presence of these production hubs contributes to Florida’s economy through job creation and revenue generation. Historically, the state’s diverse landscapes and favorable climate have attracted filmmakers, fostering a rich cinematic legacy. This continues to draw productions seeking varied locations, from beaches and urban cityscapes to swamps and natural springs. Tax incentives and a skilled workforce further enhance the state’s appeal.
