The Wilmington Regional Film Commission, Inc. facilitates on-location filmmaking within the region by offering production companies a complete range of pre-production services through a central contact. This office provides information regarding local film procedures, permits, and guidelines, serves as liaison with governmental departments and arranges for filming on public property. The Film Commission also serves as a general resource and clearinghouse for information about the Wilmington area and can assist with the following services:

• Site location photography
• Location library
• Regional scouting services
• Liaison with federal, state, county and city agencies
• Logistical information: crew, talent, studio, equipment, stages and support services.

Prior to beginning filming, the Film Commission will conduct a "round table" discussion regarding the details and logistics of each production. The Film Commission is aware of schedule conflicts or other potential difficulties which are not known to the production company. The "round table" discussion will also include any permit offices or municipal agencies.

All information regarding guidelines for filming on public property, hiring off-duty personnel, fee schedules and other City/County involvement is coordinated directly through local permit offices or municipal agencies.

Specific information and permits MUST be coordinated in the early stages of pre-production.
