In Vermont you’ll find four-season world class resorts, unmatched ski slopes, stately sugar maples (yes, still tapped every March), Federal, Georgian, Greek, and Gothic Revival architecture,19th century milltowns, and massive, otherworldly granite quarries.Lake Champlain has 587 miles of shoreline, and in Dummerston, you’ll find the longest covered bridge in Vermont. Vermont’s pastoral beauty -- the working landscapes, rolling fields, and white-steepled towns are unmarred by billboards (and have been since 1937!).

Burlington, our largest city and keeper of the jam band tradition, proudly sports a newly built International airport, a renovated waterfront, and the trendy Church Street Marketplace. Whether your project is period or contemporary we have it, and we have professional crews, equipment suppliers and a talent pool right here, at the center of the East’s production triangle, only hours from Boston, New York, and Montreal.

Vermont is largely permit-free. We offer tax incentives including a hotel tax exemption on stays of 31 days or more, sales and use tax exemption on goods and services purchased and used in the making of a film, and a limitation on performers’ state income tax. Vermont’s child labor laws are some of the most relaxed in the U.S. when the work involves acting or performing in a motion picture, theatrical, radio or television program.

The “Yankee” work ethic prevails in Vermont. Because Vermonters have traditionally relied on each other, we have created an environment of mutual respect, and our personal relationships define how we do business. In Vermont, we know our neighbors, our legislators live next door and the Governor’s phone number is in the book. The Vermont Film Commission works with state and local government agencies to smooth your production in all areas at any hour --most times, it’s just a phone call away.
