North Carolina offers several studio options to filmmakers. From the mountains to the coast, filmmakers will find a variety of studio options to suit most production needs. EUE/Screen Gems located in Wilmington, NC is the largest studio complex with 10 stages.
The North Carolina Film Office works in partnership with our local and regional film commissions statewide – all certified by the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI).
When you call the Film Office for locations, service, or crew information, we will share your project needs with our regional partners to provide extended, personalized assistance. A central hub of communication throughout a production.
North Carolina offers plentiful locations from cityscapes to coastal paradise to vast mountain ranges. Temperature is mild most of the year, offering year-long flexibility for a shooting schedule.
The spending amount of $409 million is the largest tally seen in the state since the creation of the North Carolina Film and Entertainment Grant in 2014.
