Located on Maine’s southern coast, Portland is the largest city in Maine, with a population of about 63,000. About 35 miles inland to the north lies the town of Auburn, with a population of 23,000. A number of notable people in the entertainment industry have connections to the Portland-Auburn area, including actresses Liv Tyler, Linda Lavin, Andrea Martin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), and Anna Kendrick (Up In the Air), as well as legendary film director John Ford. This part of the country is rich in natural beauty and breathtaking views, which combined with generous incentives by the state of Maine make the Portland-Auburn quite attractive for location filmmaking. If you are considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, this area presents a pleasant alternative to the craziness of New York or Los Angeles.

Numerous major motion pictures have done location filming in the Portland-Auburn area.  These include The Preacher’s Wife, The Man Without a Face, Thinner, Message in a Bottle, and Snow Falling on Cedars, just to name a few.
