 Woodbury University students inquired about filming on several roads in Riverside.  Short Film looking for upscale office in Riverside, suggested the Workforce building.  Sag Feature looking for a mental health facility to film at for 2.5 weeks.

Special Events/Sponsorships:

The American Film Market (AFM) takes place over 8 days at the Lowes Hotel in Santa Monica Nov 6 – 13 th , 2019). This is a market to connect both productions looking to sell a film and also the companies that are looking to acquire content. Interestingly, these filmmakers also always have another project (or 10) they are working on, hence, exhibiting at this event yields many location requests in Riverside County once they learn how close we are to the L.A. area and how much service we can offer. Multiple productions have already called for assistance and come to Riverside to scout their desired locations.

Riverside County Districts: a snap shot

D1: Riverside County’s Behavioral Health Buildings on Rustin Ave and Myers St. were scouted for a feature film. Production would love the locations to play as the “group home”.

VET Tv is amongst these streaming platforms hoping to engage a community of watchers that will subscribe to their platform. Launched in 2017 by retired Marine Capt. Donny O’Malley, this streaming TV show films all of their content in Riverside County due to the assistance received from the Riverside County Film Commission.

 Deleo Park: Bike skills course average $35.00 per sq. ft. for construction. Quimby budget of $3,000,000 would build roughly a 2 acre skills course  If Supervisor’s office would like smaller course similar to Temecula, we suggest considering an alternative location on the park property (north east corner of park near north parking lot) – a 12,000 sqft course would not maximize the available space of the expansion land.  Deleo Snow Day – December 14 from 11am to 2pm
