Santa Clarita highlight
"Hollywood North" filming locations
Santa Clarita is a premier filming destination with more than 50 sound stages, 10+ movie ranches, and 300+ productions filmed annually.
Santa Clarita has earned the nickname "Hollywood North" as one of the most active filming locations in California. The Santa Clarita Film Office coordinates hundreds of production shoots each year, and the region is home to more than 50 sound stages and 10 dedicated movie ranches. The industry generates over 30 million dollars in annual economic activity for Santa Clarita and employs more than 6,000 local residents. Iconic locations like Vasquez Rocks, Old Town Newhall and Rancho Deluxe movie ranch have appeared in countless films, television series and commercials.
Recent productions filmed in Santa Clarita include Jordan Peele's Nope and major television series such as NCIS, Westworld, SWAT and Goliath. The region sits within California's 30-mile zone, a tax incentive area that makes film production more cost-effective and attracts major studios to use local facilities. Some of the earliest silent films were shot in Santa Clarita's Western streets and canyons, and the city has remained a consistent filming destination for more than a century.
A household that depends on creative work—whether in production, trades serving the film industry or any other field—faces the same question. If the income earner is not here, what does the household need to continue? A term policy covering the years until the youngest child is independent, or until a mortgage is paid, or until retirement savings are built up, translates that dependence into a specific monthly cost.
