ABOUT GREATER CLEVELAND FILM COMMISSION

The Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, whose mission is to attract economic investment and job creation via the film and media industry to Northeast Ohio by advocating for legislation that drives spending to Ohio, attracting media production to choose our region as their base of operations, and educating the local workforce with the skills to fill the local industry jobs.

GCFC was the driving force behind the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit (OMPTC) in 2009. Since then, GCFC has attracted over 300 productions, most recently Netflix’s “White Noise” and Universal Pictures “Shooting Stars,” the Lebron James bio-pic. These projects have created 7,092 full-time equivalent jobs and brought over $1.38 billion into Ohio’s economy. GCFC connects cast and crew talent directly to production opportunities and invests in developing a strong local workforce by presenting workshops, seminars, FilmSkills training and internships designed to give local talent the education, experience and professional connections for a prosperous career in the film industry. GCFC works tirelessly to generate real, sustainable opportunities that attract and retain talent and economic growth.
