Welcome to Miami Florida Film

Miami is a center of activity for tourists. Thousands and thousands flock to South Florida to escape the winter ravages that the rest of the world undergoes. This is both from North and South America. While the U.S. is a melting pot, South Florida is a hodge podge, with almost every ethnicity and nationality represented to one degree or another.

With a mixture of architecture and cultures, Miami can assist your production to produce almost any visual result. And the actors in the area stem from every culture, allowing you to find a variety of local talent that would be hard to replicate anywhere else in the world.

The vibrant Cuban community puts a great backdrop to any scene, and the coffee is virtually guaranteed to keep you up to get those late night shots, or keep you dancing on South Beach to the wee hours in the morning.

Then imagine staying on Miami Beach at the Carlton Hotel or any of the other great hotels in the metropolitan area while engaged in your production. Can you imagine a more relaxing way to produce a film?
