Message from the Executive Director
Covid-19 Update
Production activity in California continues to resume with careful health and safety protocols. The industry is committed to ensuring that everyone involved in the production process is protected against COVID-19. Unprecedented cooperation and coordination between guilds, unions, producers and public health officials is helping restart production in the Golden State.
For more than a century, California’s production industry has overcome challenges and thrived to make our state the Entertainment Capital of the World. That success continues now as we all work together to find our way through this global pandemic.
The California Film Commission offers a range of services, including a comprehensive list of COVID-19-related production resources, to help resolve pandemic-related disruptions and coordinate with state, local and federal entities. We’re here to help.
