BOSTON — The Massachusetts Film Office (MFO), part of the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, has launched a redesigned website, providing filmmakers and production teams with a modernized hub for permitting, location scouting, incentive details, and industry contacts. The platform reinforces Massachusetts’ commitment to supporting its growing film and television sector and promoting the state as a dynamic destination for storytelling.
“Film is a powerful engine within Massachusetts’ creative economy,” said Interim Secretary of Economic Development Ashley Stolba. “It supports good jobs, brings new revenue to communities across the state, and shines a spotlight on the people and places that make Massachusetts unique. This new site is a critical tool for continuing to grow this important sector.”
“Film and television production supports thousands of jobs across dozens of industries in Massachusetts, from camera crews and carpenters to costume designers, caterers, and casting agents,” said Meg Jarrett, Director of the Massachusetts Film Office. “This new website is a strategic tool that makes it easier for productions to access the information they need, engage local talent, and choose Massachusetts over other states. It helps keep us competitive, responsive, and ready to grow.”
The website features an expanded image library, centralized permitting guidance, and a mobile-friendly design to make it easier for producers and location managers to bring their projects to life. It also highlights the state’s robust Film Production Incentive Program, which has drawn dozens of major films and television series to Massachusetts.
“Seeing Massachusetts on screen often sparks the desire to experience it in person,” said Kate Fox, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism. “Whether it’s the fall streets of Salem in Hocus Pocus, the Boston Public Garden bench from Good Will Hunting, or coastal drama from The Perfect Couple, film and television help shape the way the world imagines our state and inspires visitors to explore it for themselves.”
Film production in Massachusetts fuels both the creative economy and the visitor economy, supporting small businesses, creating jobs, and showcasing the state’s history, culture, and natural beauty to global audiences. Notable projects include Manchester by the Sea, CODA, Little Women, The Holdovers, Marvel’s Madame Web, and Netflix’s The Perfect Couple.
