Located in Alaska’s southeastern panhandle along the Pacific coast, Juneau, Alaska is the state capital of Alaska. Enjoying the benefits of Alaska’s breathtaking scenery and fantastic state incentives for filmmakers, Juneau is also home to several film and video production companies–making it a surprisingly desirable alternative for people considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, but who don’t want to have to move to Los Angeles or New York to do it.
