Kentucky Film is a group of nonprofit organizations, CVBs and film commissions in Kentucky dedicated to providing you with connections to all the local resources needed to make your next production a success.

502 Film connects visiting productions with resources in Louisville and the surrounding region including crew, accommodations, equipment rentals, and established vendors. 

502 Film aims to create an urban filmmaking destination in Louisville and the surrounding region where art intersects with business through three core principles: advancing media and workforce education, fostering a collaborative community of crew and talent and providing production resources and support.


Film Cincinnati is a non-profit organization dedicated to attracting, promoting and cultivating productions to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Region.

Film Cincinnati does not receive any funds from the media productions we work to attract here. We rely solely on contributions to advance our mission. Contributions sustain the efforts to sell this region as a great place to produce movies, television and commercials. Production not only brings jobs and money to communities but prestige, increases in tourism, and bolsters hometown pride. Movies are good business for the state and city

Louisville knows how to roll out the red carpet for one-of-a-kind experiences – and that includes your production. Our city offers a wealth of locations, crews, vendors and resources to ensure your film, television, Broadway production or industrial project is a success. 

Along with lucrative production incentives offered by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Louisville is home to a variety of production resources including experienced crew, gear rentals, soundstages, plus easy – and inexpensive – permitting. As the largest city in Kentucky, our airport offers daily nonstop service to and from more than 35 cities, including New York and Los Angeles, and our award-winning food and accommodations are all positioned within a 30-mile radius of a variety of diverse locations
