Unlike most production heavy countries, the United States does not have a centralized
federal film commission. Film production support and regulation are
primarily managed at the state and local levels through various
state film commissions and offices. These entities provide a range
of services, including location scouting assistance, tax incentives
information, and logistical support to filmmakers looking to
produce films within their jurisdictions.
Film USA utilizes their member
network of film commissioners to foster new business relationships,
market the industry globally, and to expand the worldwide presence
of the US film and TV industry, thereby creating US employment and
economic growth. Film USA also
advocates for the creation of a federal film office focused on
maintaining and growing the film economy of the country.
