About Us

MCFC's mission is to inspire and facilitate film and media productions throughout Monterey County, creating positive economic impact. As a nonprofit organization, MCFC helps film production companies find the right locations, local skilled professionals, and the numerous services and products that such projects require. With support, the Monterey County Film Commission continues to grow, to reach more markets, and provide increased local job and business opportunities. 100+ film projects - from features, commercials and TV shows to music videos and still shoots annually - with more than $136 million flowing into Monterey County communities from film and media productions since the film commission was established by the Board of Supervisors in 1987. MCFC also offers an annual countywide Film Student Scholarship Award and hosts periodic educational lectures and workshops.
