The Inland Empire Film Commission (IEFC)

The Inland Empire is the region which is comprised of the counties of Riverside and San Bernardino, in addition to the eastern most portion of Los Angeles County. The county of Los Angeles borders the Inland Empire on the West; Inyo and Kern counties to the North, San Diego County to the South and the States of Arizona and Nevada to the East.

The Inland Empire is as large as the State of Kansas or all of the New England states combined. Our region covers 27,000 square miles of some of the most spectacular locations imaginable. It is located right in the heart of Southern California and just a "Stone's Throw" from Hollywood.

It is obvious that with size there would come an array of diverse film locations. The Inland Empire has locations that can double for the Midwest, the South of France, the Napa Valley, the Sahara Desert, Las Vegas, the Southern United States, Vietnam and countless other places your script may call for. We even have an an ocean look alike called the "Salton Sea".

Our assets include vast green wilderness areas, sand dunes, dairy farms, charming wine country, snowcapped mountains, lakes (both wet and dry), ski resorts, picturesque deserts, small towns, bustling big cities, steel mills, power plants, military bases, farms, rivers, villages and numerous highways and back roads. The Inland Empire can provide exquisite backdrop for any scene do to the fact it has the best weather conditions in the world!

The Inland Empire is accessible by Interstates 10, 15, 60, 91, 215, and the newly extended 210. We have more than 30 airports including the Ontario International Airport. In addition, the Metrolink serves a vast area within the Inland Empire.
