Film Production

Iowa Film Office

When scripts require natural beauty (beyond the leading lady), consider an Iowa location. The Iowa landscape is surprisingly diverse - from splendid, open vistas of rolling hills to lush forest hideaways of caves and limestone walls. The people of Iowa will welcome you to quaint, historic main streets and vibrant urban landscapes. Plus, Iowa's film production industry is populated with talented, productive individuals to keep you on schedule and on budget.
