It’s great to see films made in the Ozarks and not just in St.Louis and Kansas City Missouri. We hope to help filmmakers in the future so more people will film in the area.

We are very proud to be an accredited member of the Association of Film Commissioners International. It was always our view as founders that the Missouri Ozarks could stand as an equal with the other great locations in the world, like Hawaii, Paris, New Zealand, so we wanted to use the smartest, fastest path towards bringing producers here who would capitalize on the state's film production incentive program.

Now we've done achieved a major milestone toward that goal by becoming an AFCI film commission. Now the Ozarks is a peer of Tokyo and London. Cities like Sparta, Mansfield, and Rockaway Beach have their names before global producers. Before our effort, they were simply invisible, and would have stayed that way indefinitely. No more of that though as each city that endorses Ozarks Film | Ozarks Film Coop is now a mini-studio in of itself.

Filmmakers can now get assistance from film friendly and film friendly jurisdictions who have endorsed us to represent them. These cities want producers to come to their communities to make their projects. Through Ozarks Film, producers have a professional film commission on the ground that has worked in the motion picture and TV industries for major studio and international networks. Producers, who need speed and expertise, now have a partner in Ozarks Film and the cities who say, we're ready to welcome you.

If you're a filmmaker, producer, or locations manager, get in touch with us. We would love to help you out.

This is SPARTA!!!

We couldn't be more proud to serve as the official film commission for Sparta, Missouri.

"The Sparta area was the shooting site for the World War II feature film, REVEILLE. Since its production recently at Honey Branch Cave, Ozarks Film has fielded an inquiry from another filmmaker who wanted to work nearby, and only days after the City of Sparta endorsed it to provide no-cost professional, ethical, film commission services," said AFCI-certified film commissioner John Farmer de la Torre, president of OZARKS FILM, the Missouri Ozarks only AFCI member film commission. "The great news is that producers are looking for communities like Sparta to make their films away from the big city centers of film production. We are very happy we have been entrusted to help Sparta with its film production needs.

If you would like to learn about working in Sparta, contact Ozarks Film. We'll be delighted to help you work in film friendly, film ready SPARTA!
