Film in Paradise
There's a million and one reasons why the beautiful cities of St. Petersburg and Clearwater are the perfect places to capture, and tell your story! Click the video below and check out some of the great works that's been filmed here.
The St. Pete Clearwater Film Commission covers 24 cities in Pinellas County, Florida. Thousands of commercials, TV shows, feature films, and digital media projects have filmed here. Every year over 200 projects film in St. Pete Clearwater, Florida. The film commission's business development program helps attract Studio Features like Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, independent features, Digital Projects, Web series and high profile Music Videos. St. Pete Clearwater is a blue-sky, sun-drenched getaway home to 35 miles of white sand beaches, including TripAdvisor’s No. 1 Beach in the U.S. in 2016, 2018 and 2019. Off the beach is St. Petersburg, named one of the Top 52 Places to Visit in 2014 by The New York Times---in large part because of its world-class art scene, which features the acclaimed Dalí Museum and Chihuly Collection.
