Your Property in a Starring Role

While a large percentage of entertainment is filmed on soundstages, the images you see on movie and television screens don’t all come from studio lots. From natural landscapes to historical landmarks, from public spaces to private homes, the entertainment industry is always looking for unique locations.

Your property may have that picture perfect look and that’s why we want to help you make your property available to the film industry and help bring production and jobs to our community.

Produced by the California Film Commission, Your Property in a Starring Role is a 28-page booklet that offers easy-to-read information about the entertainment industry, explains the process of on-location filming, and introduces some of the people you are likely to meet during the process. You’ll also find a checklist of questions to ask location managers who are interested in your property, sample contracts, insurance forms and other helpful information.

List Your Property with the Alameda Film Commission

This Website serves as a resource to the film production industry. You are invited to submit your property for listing in our Locations Directory. If your property is accepted for the directory, and a party expresses an interest in your property, we will provide that party with your contact information. We will also notify you by email when we do.
