Video production in Wilmington, NC

Wilmington is known as Hollywood East, and it has been a working production town for forty years. It is home to two motion picture lots, a standing crew base, and the grip , camera, and support houses that a city with stages sustains.

What that means in practice is depth. The crew, the support services, the equipment, and the creative support to pull off projects of any size are already here, so a production does not have to import a unit to shoot in this market.

Coast, port, historic downtown, wetlands, farmland, and a working river, all inside a short drive. It is an unusually broad location package for a city this size, which is why productions that could film anywhere keep choosing it.

The other half of it is the infrastructure. A city with standing stages has grip houses, camera houses, and crew who work year-round, and that is the difference between a location that photographs well and a location you can actually mount a shoot in.

No. Wilmington is the base, not the boundary. Port City Films produces content across North Carolina , the United States and internationally, and provides support and services for independent film, corporate, and commercial productions wherever they film.

If you are filming in Wilmington and need a crew, gear, or post, that is the easy version. If you are filming elsewhere and want the same team, that is most of what the studio does.

Yes. 1470 N. Kerr Avenue, Wilmington, NC 28405. The suites , the gear, and the people who use them are all here, and if you are putting a job together anywhere it is worth an hour to walk through it.
