Hamilton Film Office Claimed

Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) is a city with a cinematic soul. It’s a city and location that is adaptable and diverse, gritty and beautiful, and offers resources for film crews that include Hamilton-based film businesses, a wide range and great quality of hotels, accommodations, and restaurants, and by filming here you can access tax credits.

Our city hosts hundreds of productions every year that come here because of our location, wide range of neighbourhoods and architecture, small town feel with big city backdrops, diverse rural landscapes, and our people.
