The Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2025

Cincinnati is once again on MovieMaker’s list of the best places to live and work as a moviemaker. Cincinnati ranks 11th on the list of best places for a moviemaker, ranking ahead of Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Kansas City, among others. 

MovieMaker compiles its annual list based on surveys, production spending, tax incentives, additional research, and personal visits, whenever possible. 

“We are proud to be named to the MovieMaker best places to live and work as a moviemaker list again this year,” said Kristen Schlotman, President/CEO of Film Cincinnati. “The recognition is a testament to the talented cast and crew who live and work here, and who keep the film industry so strong in Greater Cincinnati.”
