While film and commercial production in the United States is guided by a number of federal statutes and laws, there are plenty of production guidelines and rules specific to individual states. Visit the site of the film office for the state you're interested in by clicking on the map on the right.

State film office websites often contain valuable information such as minimum wage, per diems for lodging and meals, rules for employing minors, location searches, production day permitting, and even some of the other productions that have filmed in the area recently. If you don't find what you're looking for on the state film office sites, you can always try our Production Incentives Database to compare the film tax credits and other incentives offered by each region.

As always, if you need help finding information, please give our customer service department a call at 866-429-9316, or email us at MediaClientServices@Media-Services.com.
