Local government, private business and locals in the community all embrace and go out of their way to help and accommodate everything that shoots here.”
Tony Armer, St Petersburg- Clearwater Film Commissioner
Florida
With lawmakers failing to agree on a method of extending the previous incentive programme, Florida's production industry is now lacking in financial backing. HBO's Ballers, a staple of local production has now moved to California for a better deal.
Miami still remains an iconic location however and has been used recently to host the cinematic reboot of Baywatch and the blockbuster sequel, xXx: Return of Xander Cage.
Georgia will likely stay as the main production hub in the southern US for the foreseeable future, with competition from Louisiana.
Climate
Florida has two distinct climatic regions, with a sub-tropical south and a warm temperate north.
The main difference between the regions in terms of temperature is the cooler winters. In the north winter temperatures can fall to 5C, while summer temperatures can peak at 32C. In the south winter temperatures do not normally fall below about 15C, with summer temperatures peaking at 32C as in the north.
Florida’s coastal nature helps regulate temperatures. Summer sees the heaviest rainfall, while winter
and spring tend to be much dryer. Central Florida is especially susceptible to thunderstorms and has
more than anywhere else in the US.
