Producing a film is a major affair and the venues you choose will make or break your success. Washington, D.C. has seen hundreds of films produced over the years and has a variety of production companies looking to partner with filmmakers. Not to mention film-friendly businesses like hotels and restaurants that open their doors to film productions! Downtown Washington, D.C. is full of monuments, museums, and other buildings that are instantly recognizable. There are few cities with more instantly recognizable landmarks than DC, making it an ideal place to produce a film!

Rent a film production location in Washington DC

The best way to secure a location for a film production is to rent space inside of a production company complex. You'll have hundreds to thousands of square feet using one of their sets for your film. Film production companies in Washington, D.C. offer green screen studios for commercial use, warehouse studios suitable for music videos, interview filming spaces for documentaries, and much more. Another place to search for film sets are businesses that allow movie making on site. These include DC salons, hotels, hospitals, banks, and prisons. All sets that require you to source a lot of props. By working with a film-friendly business, you'll save time and money designing the set and can quickly begin filming! Just make sure to inquire about their rental periods beforehand since many businesses don't allow filming during regular business hours. You may have to film on weekends or evenings only. That may be a small price to pay for a historic or well decorated venue, however.

Vintage film production locations in Washington DC

If you have a vintage or period film in mind, then the props included with your film production studio are going to be very important. The best place to shoot a vintage film is a studio laid out to look like your set. Many Washington, D.C. studios keep sets on hand that are designed to fit a particular theme. If you need a Western saloon, a 1960's diner, or period hotel suite, you'll likely find a studio with the right props. While film-friendly businesses may have the same amenities, a film production company offers more flexible rental terms. You can reserve a film set for as little as an hour in many cases. You also aren't limited to filming after hours, as many restaurants and other businesses insist on.
