Director's Letter

When your script calls for Washington, DC, you probably think of our national monuments and memorials, and you would be right. But Washington, DC is so much more! The nation's capital offers some of the most striking and instantly recognizable architecture in the world. But it is so much more. Production companies are finding that famous backdrops and beautiful buildings are only some of the many reasons to film in the District.

Washington, DC has everything necessary to make your production a success. We will work with you through all phases of production and will provide the following free assistance: location services, scouting, research, image library, e-photo delivery, script breakdown, permit assistance and more.

Once you are filming here on location, you will find that our close working relationship with government officials and community leaders means a minimum amount of red tape at any of the locations that you select, whether it is a busy street or a quiet residential neighborhood.

Furthermore, with many productions filmed in the District every year, the city has developed a network of industry professionals and state-of-the art facilities that are equipped to play a major role in any aspect of the production process. Also, there are a great number of companies in supporting roles (catering, casting, lighting, sound, etc.) that are experienced in handling the needs of the film and video industry in a cost effective and expeditious manner.

We invite you to discover the many treasures of Washington, DC. You will be pleased with the ease and affordability of bringing your project to the District.

Crystal Palmer
Director
