Film Friendly Accommodations

 

Going on location is hard enough.  You don't want to find out that once you have picked the stellar location for filming that there is nowhere to stay!  That is why this month's issue is all about film friendly accommodations in Del Norte and Humboldt that will make your trip that much easier.  

 

We have highlighted accommodations in the main city of each county, Crescent City and Eureka, for accommodations.  However, we do think it is worth noting, there are plenty more film friendly hotels in other parts of the both counties.  So if you think you might be planning a scout or shoot up our way, don't hesitate to ask us for a full list.  We are always happy to help!

Enjoy!

"Our production was on a tight schedule when we decided to shoot in Humboldt County and throughout the entire process the Film Commission was fantastic, quick to respond and extremely knowledgeable about the resources in their area. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend this beautiful area and great people to other productions."

  

-Travis Dowell, Producer of "Top Gear," History Channel

 

 

 

"We really felt welcomed and supported through the entire pre-production and shoot. We would definitely recommend Humboldt County to other photographers and filmmakers who are looking for amazing locations in a shoot-friendly community."
