Reasons to Shoot in Anchorage

Anchorage has what it takes to be the next big movie location destination: crew, scenery, accommodations and diversity.

As the largest city in Alaska and commercial hub for the state, Anchorage is the prime location to base your Alaska shoot. We have skilled crew and state of the art equipment to meet your technical needs. Our crews frequently operate under extreme weather conditions and they know the tricks to keep a production going when temperatures are low and daylight is short. We have a can-do attitude and like finding solutions.

Our talented crew isn’t the only thing we’ve got going. Anchorage landscapes are undiscovered. Mountains, lakes, glaciers, and wildlife make filming unforgettable. Their close proximity to Anchorage makes it easy to get more done in less time.

Anchorage is a modern city that is prepared to handle the influx of production cast and crew. We have luxurious hotels, fine dining and great coffee. We know the best transportation options to deliver your crew anywhere in the state. When not working, we can show you where to have fun and the best places take pictures or see a moose.

Anchorage enjoys rich cultural history and independent spirit. From Native Alaskans and Eastern Europeans to Texans and Samoans, the city’s people are incredibly diverse. Finding background cast will be a breeze.

Of course Alaska’s tax incentives are hard to beat. Spend at least $100,000 within 24 months to qualify for the 30% base credit. If you hire Alaskans you can add on up to 10% more. Alaska has no income tax and Anchorage doesn’t have a sales tax.
