The interest in turning a territory into a setting for the filming of cinematographic audiovisual productions, television series or any other type of audiovisual product, constitutes the main engine of the start-up of a Film Office or Film Commission in any locality, region, province or region.

The mission of a filming office is to highlight, not only the benefits of landscapes, monuments, climate of a territory or the ability of its people to host filming equipment (logistics, predisposition of citizens), but also to give visibility to the technical and human audiovisual resources with which a shooting team arrived in a locality could count on in that environment.

This research aims to study the figure of the Film Commission and its contribution to the dynamization of production in a territory through the enhancement of the local audiovisual sector -companies and specialized technicians- as an attractiveness of the territory.
