The Pittsburgh Film Office started in 1990 to promote the greater southwestern Pennsylvania region as a great location for movie, television and commercial productions. Since its inception, the PFO has assisted more than 90 feature films and television productions to southwestern Pennsylvania to generate an economic impact of more than $360 million for the region. To facilitate filming in the Pittsburgh area, the PFO provides information on the region, locations, vendors and crew; and coordinates government and business offices in support of a production. It also serves as a conduit for information, providing assistance to local filmmakers and the local film industry throughout the region.
Throughout the PFO website, you’ll find useful information about filming in southwestern Pennsylvania―whether you’re a filmmaker, producer, actor, technician or a resident of the region. Some of the recent productions include: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Smart People, The Bridge to Nowhere, the Spike TV series The Kill Point, Adventureland, Homecoming, Trapped, Zack & Miri Make a Porno, The Road, She's Out of My League, Shelter, Hollywood and Wine, My Bloody Valentine 3-D, Shannon's Rainbow, In NorthWood, Sorority Row, Three Rivers (pilot), Fire in the Hole (pilot) and Warrior (currently in production!).
