From the Commissioner, 
With the new tax incentives underway for 2015, everyone is excited at the idea that filming will be coming back to California!  This month's newsletter is a reminder of what makes this region of California so special.  Additionally, we have thrown in a few testimonies along the way to show you how we have helped others with their shoots!

Film California! ~ Cassandra Hesseltine, Humboldt & Del Norte Film Commissioner
Redwood Region
What are we known for?  Redwoods of course!  The tallest trees in the world matter of fact!  And some of the oldest, largest groves of these bad boys!  

Our trees have been featured in everything from films to commercials to print ads and more!
