About Us

The Pittsburgh Film Office markets the greater southwestern Pennsylvania region as a great location for movie, television and commercial productions. Since its inception in 1990, the PFO has assisted more than 105 feature films and television productions to southwestern Pennsylvania to generate an economic impact of more than $600 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.
