Our Mission

To attract film and television production and co-production to the National Capital Region, to foster the growth and development of the local industry, and to act as the lead voice for the region within the screen-based sector.

Our Vision

To increase the prominence of Ottawa and the National Capital Region as a full-service production destination and to reflect the work of our film, television, and animation creators on screens around the world.

Services

The Ottawa Film Office focuses on the continued development, retention, competitiveness, and enhancement of the city’s film and television industry.

Let us help you find the perfect filming locations so that you can focus on what matters - telling your story.

Business Development

We work with local producers and screen-based companies to help them expand and attract new projects to the National Capital Region.

Industry Promotion

We're working towards making sure that Ottawa's screen-based media industry is no longer one of the city's best kept secrets.
