Arizona’s southwest is the right choice for your next production in the USA. Tired of shooting in the same places over and over again? Point your camera towards a fresh perspective. Few locations offer Arizona’s endless variety of outdoor scenic vistas, all within a few hours’ drive. Recent agreements with the State of Sonora, Mexico, and the Navajo Nation have increased Arizona’s already impressive location offerings. Apply for Arizona’s new film incentives that provide a refundable tax credit for the motion picture industry. Lower production costs, streamlined permitting processes, experienced crews, and talent: everything your production needs. Arizona's Motion Picture Production Program (MPPP) allows production companies the opportunity to recapture a percentage of qualified production expenses spent in Arizona. Arizona’s southwest has it all! Let Flagstaff’s four-season mountain town, Phoenix’s urban landscape, and Tucson's 350+ days of sunshine tell your story.
