Lights, Camera, Action!

Reading, PA is an incredible place to shoot. The architecture of the city roots an audience in its history, while the aesthetic contributes to a sense of its evolving culture. Navigating getting film permits was as easy as it gets. The folks at the film office were not only accommodating but seemed to really care that we had a good experience shooting in their city, and the Southeast Pennsylvania local crew and rental houses we worked with were all top notch.

I wanted to say a big thank you to the Reading Film Office for all your help with our production. Being a small docu-reality show, things are often last minute for us, so your help in expediting a permit for us to be able to film in Carsonia Park was incredibly helpful and allowed us some great footage for our show! I really appreciate all your help and look forward to continued filming in Reading!

The Reading Film Office were instrumental in the success of my Mack Trucks production. Finding a scenic road in the Lehigh Valley/Reading area during winter—especially one that doesn’t look like winter—is no easy task. RFO not only presented multiple ideal locations that I could present to the client, but also swiftly handled permitting and secured traffic control, all within a tight time frame. I highly recommend the Reading Film Office.
