Hamilton has become a very popular destination for filmmakers and the Hamilton Film & Television Office and the citizens of Hamilton are committed to further development of this industry.

The City of Hamilton will continue to be a community that boasts hundreds of unique filming locations and attracts dozens of film and television productions each year. Support for this industry continues to grow locally with government officials and area residents all welcoming filmmakers into the community.

Filming is an important new industry for Hamilton because it brings substantial revenue to the community and it is part of our broader Creative Industries strategy. Production companies pay residents and businesses for the rental of their properties, they use our hotels and restaurants and, many of the professionals in the filmmaking community are now choosing Hamilton as their home. This brings wealth and prosperity to our city.
