Central to mountains, deserts, forests and urban areas, Bakersfield is uniquely positioned for diversity in filmmaking locations. While most area film schools are found in the nearby L.A. area, plenty of film and television production takes place right here in Bakersfield. In fact, the Kern County Film Commission refers to the area as Hollywood's "extended back lot," and Bakersfield now even has its own film festival. For those considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, Bakersfield can provide an excellent alternative for people who would rather not live in the craziness of "La-La Land."
