In fact, originally there were no plans to film the latest production in the Cleveland area. The Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) brings movies to our region with attractive film locations, a veteran crew base, and a record of successfully guiding productions through the filmmaking process. GCFC lays the groundwork for months if not years in advance of filming, directly leading to new production investment and local jobs. GCFC's work just drove $36,972,289 to be spent with local vendors and created hundreds of local jobs. Become part of the movement to train the next generation of local film professionals and drive production investment to choose NE Ohio.

About us
The Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) is the only nonprofit dedicated to bringing jobs and economic impact to Northeast Ohio by supporting a thriving and adaptive local media industry. The GCFC relies on the support of businesses, community partners, and the generosity of individuals for funding. Since 2009, the State of Ohio has seen more than $1.1 billion in economic impact and created 6,192 full-time equivalent jobs thanks to our work. The GCFC was instrumental in securing state funding for Cleveland State University’s School of Film & Media Arts, Ohio’s first standalone film school. GCFC continues to support the school’s faculty, curriculum and student interns since its opening in 2018. We continue to focus our efforts to increase the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit to $100 million and create a sustainable program that instills confidence to the industry. With the support of public and private partners, the GCFC is committed to creating jobs, growing our population and bringing more business to Cleveland. Vision The vision of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) is to achieve increased economic development in Northeast Ohio by using the artistic and culturally enriching activities of film and other media production to strengthen the workforce, support the media production industry and attract media production to the region.

Superman has captivated Cleveland for the last month, generating economic development and global recognition. We have many features that make our region attractive from the variety of settings to the costs and ease of doing business to a diverse and talented workforce. But the Ohio Film Tax Credit is what attracts film and stage productions here. To create an even stronger industry in the region, our credits need to be competitive with leading states which will spur more productions and more development.
