Bahamas Film Commission

Since 1914, the Bahamas has been used as a beautiful film location. It was the first underwater film - Thirty Leagues Under the Sea - that started to expose the underwater scenery and tropical landscapes of The Bahamas. Later, two versions of Jules Vernes’ 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea were shot in Bahamian waters. When the Bahamas Film and Television Commission was established in 1984, it got even easier for filmmakers to access the country’s locations that span over 700 islands and cays. Many of those filmmakers have taken advantage of the clearest waters in the world, found in The Bahamas. Through the Commission’s guidance, productions of every size, have enjoyed the country’s film-friendly experience. Films shot in The Bahamas include: Pirates of The Caribbean II and III, Casino Royale, Duplicity, Fool's Gold, After The Sunset, Miracle At St. Anna and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too. The Bahamas is also a location for many television, photo, and documentary shoots each year.
