Trentino is a place of unique encounters: between the peaks of the Italian Alps and the Mediterranean feel of the lake Garda, between its hundred castles and the international spirit of a region in the heart of Europe. Trentino Film Fund and Commission supports audiovisual productions with grants up to 200.000 Euros and services like location scouting, free permits and contacts with local crews, and fosters sustainable film productions through the GREEN FILM Rating System and Certification.

Croatia offers an ideal combination of filming conditions. It is a small, yet diverse country, with breath-taking locations; its landscapes and architecture can accommodate even the most demanding visual requirements.

Filming in Croatia now offers 25% cash rebate and additional 5% for productions filming in regions with below average development. Positive changes in the incentives programme are set to encourage producers to explore great new locations for filming in Croatia.

Hawaii has the second lowest active case count in the US while Honolulu has a low infection rate of 1%.

We also have two Hallmark movies filming or in prep, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on deck, and NCIS: Hawaii in development. Make Hawaii your next location!
