San Diego, California is the 7th largest city in the nation but probably number one or two in terms of weather, beauty, and diverse locations for filming. Film Schools in San Diego pale in comparison to its infamous neighbor Los Angeles, but professional filmmaking in San Diego is just as popular as it is in L.A. Many film and TV production companies make their home in San Diego and so if you are considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman San Diego is an excellent choice for you.
Many major movies, commercials, TV shows, and documentaries are filmed all over San Diego every single day, making it ideal for those filmmakers who love California but are not interested in living in la-la land Los Angeles.
Some of the well-known movies that have been filmed in San Diego include:
Almost Famous, Traffic, Into the Wild, Babel, Lords of Dogtown, Bruce Almighty, Antown Fisher, The Cell, Pearl Harbor, Bring It On, Apollo 13, Free Willy 2, Wayne’s World 2, and Bugsy to name a few.
Television production in San Diego is huge as well and has been home to such productions as: American Idol, COPS, 24, Entourage, Nip/Tuck, MTV Real World, JAG, and X Files.
Thousands of professional commercials, TV shows, and Feature Films are shot on the streets of San Diego every year. It is also only two hours from Los Angeles, 8 from San Francisco, and a short jaunt to either Arizona or Las, Vegas, Nevada making it ideal for both film students and filmmaking professionals.
Good luck with our film school.
