Where we work
Port City Films is a North Carolina video Production Company and Post House, based in Wilmington and working across the state. Since 2005 it has made commercials, brand films, and corporate video for clients from the coast to the Triad and well past it, and provides crew, equipment, and post support wherever a production lands.
Greenville, for five consecutive years of East Carolina University football entrance films. Winston-Salem, for the Reynolds American corporate identity relaunch. Greensboro, for Kontoor Brands and the Lainey Wilson x Wrangler line launch. The southeastern coast, for Brunswick County tourism. Wilmington , continuously, since 2005.
That spread is the point. A production company that only films in one metro learns one metro.
The state has a real, working film infrastructure rather than a marketing campaign about one. Wilmington alone has two motion picture lots and the standing crew base that comes with them.
For a company filming here, that means competitive day rates against the major markets without importing a unit, and a crew depth that can scale a job up without a two-week lead time.
North Carolina film incentivesBoth. Alongside its own work the studio provides support and services for independent film, corporate, and commercial productions, local and otherwise: camera, lighting, and grip rental, and post capacity.
If you are an out-of-state production landing in North Carolina, or an in-state team that needs gear or an edit, that is a normal engagement here rather than a favor.
Three groups, and they want different things. Brands and businesses, who need the thing made. Advertising agencies and marketing firms, who own the campaign and need a production partner who will not embarrass them. Internal creative content teams and studios, who have the strategy and need crew, gear, and post capacity.
The work runs from national commercials to Fortune 500 internal communications to university athletics, which is a wider range than most shops this size carry.
Whether you need the whole job made or just crew, gear, and an edit suite, tell us the dates and what you are trying to film.
