About Us

Filmiami is a cooperation between the two Greater Miami Film Offices: Miami-Dade County, and the City of Miami Beach and several County municipalities to offer a one-stop permitting system. The one-stop permit process allows our production clients the ease of applying for permits for several jurisdictions all in one place. Each jurisdiction requires a separate certificate of insurance. Also, each jurisdiction approves and signs their own permits.

The two film offices: Miami-Dade Office of Film and Entertainment and the Miami Beach Office of Film & Event Production Management are full service film commissions providing location and logistics assistance, government liaison, production information and referral sources

Please feel free to contact us with any questions and we look forward to working with you and making your production a success.
