Fillmore is Anywhere USA, Right in Southern California's Back Yard
Thank you for considering the City of Fillmore for your film production. We are committed to ensuring smooth and pleasant film productions, and this site has been created to give producers, directors and location scouts hopefully everything they need to know about filming in Fillmore.
A Film-Friendly CommunityLocated less than an hour from downtown Los Angeles and just 20 minutes from Santa Clarita/Interstate 5, the City of Fillmore and its residents and businesses are no strangers to film productions. For many years, Fillmore has attracted filmmakers into its historic "small-town America" downtown, and on board the famous Fillmore & Western movie train, which has appeared in many major films, television shows and commercials. We welcome all productions, big and small.
Why Fillmore?Fillmore is a valuable locale for filmmakers because of its varied architecture (from the 1920s to present-day), its anywhere “main street” downtown, its varied topography and our unique small-town feel. While many cities have discouraged film activity within city limits, the City of Fillmore encourages productions. Our Film Commission works continuously to assist filmmakers to make filming within the City as smooth as possible. If you need help scouting locations or finding what you need, we will provide that help. Just ask!
How Does My Company Obtain a Film Permit?Contact the City's Film Permit Coordinator (call 805-524-1500, ext. 211 or 805-524-3701), who will provide you with the necessary paperwork and will answer any questions you may have. We ask for five working days notice on most productions, however, our experienced staff can - and does - issue permits on shorter notice if feasible.
