The Film Industry’s Gateway to the Antelope Valley
Palmdale has a long and rich history of providing scenic and exotic locations for Hollywood films dating back to the silent film days, from portraying the Holy Land in biblical epics to the Wild West in countless Westerns and even sci-fi classics shot in the ’50s.
The Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ) was recently extended 10 miles, with much of Palmdale now located within the zone. Combined with the State’s recently expanded Film Tax Incentive Program, the City has seen a surge in film productions using the abundant locations and resources that are available here.
In light of these recent pro-filming developments, Palmdale is aggressively working to further develop its reputation as a film-friendly city.
