| The Delta Film Commission was created and
designed to offer all forms of commercial media production a
fresh, visually stunning, diverse and cost-effective alternative
when choosing a shooting location. |

|
|
| The Mississippi Delta is a unique and vast area,
where thousands of years of “Old Man River’s” rich,
alluvial deposits have created a breathtaking landscape, and
forged a culture whose music, agriculture and architecture have
dotted that landscape with an endless array of stunning location
opportunities. The Delta Film Commission is the first entity to
formally alert and invite all avenues of production to come
visit, scout, and shoot in this one of a kind environment. |

| Based in Clarksdale, MS, the Commission’s
network of contacts and detailed roster of both landscape and
structural locations, reaches as far South as the Mississippi
gulf coast, to Arkansas and Alabama, and North through Tunica
(think Las Vegas on the Mississippi River), on into Memphis.
Throughout the region, you will find picturesque miles of open
fields, lush forests, both working and abandoned railroads,
juke-joints, antebellum homes, old town squares, rural stores,
barns, flowing streams, agriculture, sandbars, and of course,
The Mighty Mississippi itself. The diversity of the land also
offers the chance for productions to “double” for other more
distant and challenging locations. Tunica, MS is a prime
example. A company can shoot Las Vegas interiors, avoid the
desert heat, and take a moonlight cruise on an authentic
riverboat later that evening. Whatever look or imagery you are
looking to achieve, the Commission is here to provide you with
every option the region has to offer; as well as professional
assistance in all other details, from lodging, where to eat,
insurance, medical facilities, and transportation. |

The Mississippi Delta has become a premiere
destination for world travelers in the 21st century.
From Delta Blues and literary fans, to gaming enthusiasts and
outdoorsmen alike, the Delta has taken her place in the spotlight.
The Delta Film Commission has been formed to make
our home a competitive and inviting production-friendly world for
the thousands of crews a year, who are already passing through our
midst, and to set the stage for a new era where the beauty and
hospitality of the Mississippi Delta will serve as the
backdrop—and back bone—of your next commercial, print, or
motion picture. Down here, we treat company like we would our own
family. |
