The West Virginia Film Office is a service agency under the WV Division of Tourism and an interim member of the Association of Film Commissioners International and provides complimentary scouting and research services, acts as a liaison among governmental agencies and the production team, assists in securing location permits, and provides general support to the production team to ensure a wrinkle-free shoot.

 

The West Virginia Film Office provides support to a wide variety of productions ranging from film and television productions to music videos and still photography shoots. Every year, West Virginia plays host to dozens of national, regional, and local television commercials, reality shows, and independent film and video productions. Motion picture studios set up shop in diverse locations throughout West Virginia for feature film productions, including this year's "Gods and Generals."

 

Because of West Virginia's rich history, cultural significance, and famous residents, dozens of short and feature documentaries are shot in the state on a regular basis. And numerous feature films have been produced based on West Virginia-related stories, such as "A Beautiful Mind," "The Mothman Prophecies," and "October Sky".
