The 11-member Alameda Film Commission was created by act of the Alameda City Council in 2005. Its mission is to promote film and video activity in Alameda to both enhance the local economy and celebrate the civic pride of Alameda residents by showcasing this lovely City.

The members serve either one- or two-year terms and are selected as follows:

Three members, each of whom represents one of three local business associations: the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, the Park Street Business Association and the West Alameda Business Association. These members are designated by the associations.

The remaining eight members are appointed by the City Council after nomination by the Mayor and represent the following areas:

Chair Dave Duffin, Commissioners Trish Grey and Allison Bliss

• Neighborhood (1)
• Film/Video Industry (4)
• Retail/property management (1)
• Community-at-Large (1)
• Historic Experience (1)

The Commission holds public meetings quarterly and schedules special meetings, also open to the public, as needed. The Commission works with City staff to promote Alameda as a film destination and is staffed by the Film Liaison Office, a group within the Development Services Department within the City of Alameda.

The Film Liaison Office is a group within the City's Development Services Department. Its duties are to implement the policies set forth by the Film Commission.
