Located in Alaska’s southeastern panhandle along the Pacific coast, Juneau, Alaska is the state capital of Alaska. Enjoying the benefits of Alaska’s breathtaking scenery and fantastic state incentives for filmmakers, Juneau is also home to several film and video production companies–making it a surprisingly desirable alternative for people considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, but who don’t want to have to move to Los Angeles or New York to do it.
Alaska has hosted location shooting for some very well-known movies, including Never Cry Wolf, North, White Fang, Insomnia, The Thing, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and more. The 1999 film Limbo, starring Kris Kristofferson and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, was also filmed in Juneau. Alaska has also seen its share of television production, including episodes of The Great Race, Man vs. Wild, and of course Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
Besides the beautiful natural scenery that attracts filmmakers to Alaska, the state also offers remarkable incentives, including tax credits by which filmmakers can recoup up to 44 percent of their expenses just for filming there. Alaska even has several film festivals! These things and more make Juneau a great choice both for film professionals and film students.
Good luck with our film school.
