Hawaii Film Office
From Free net encyclopedia
Current revision
The Hawaii Film Office is an agency of the state of Hawaii through the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. The agency facilitates all in-state film and television productions and photography shoots, whether they are small, local, or independent projects or large commercial projects.
Each county also has its own film commission that works in concert with the state-run Hawaii Film Office. These county offices coordinate relations between media producers and the specific counties within which they film — Big Island Film Office, Honolulu Film Office, Kauai Film Commission and Maui Film Office. Each film commission is led by a film commissioner, appointed by respective county mayors.
The Hawaii Film Office is considered the first point of contact for any media producer hoping to work on film, television, or photography projects in any of the Hawaiian Islands. The agency acts as the liaison between the producer and the local government and community, and provides and processes the documentation and permits needed to shoot a project in Hawaii. The agency also acts as a liaison with the Governor of Hawaii and the Hawaii State Legislature in consideration of tax incentives and other benefits granted for filming in Hawaii.
