Does anyone know what the film industry is like in Las Vegas(non pornographic)? Are there any production companies in the area? I heard that there were quite a few companies from California moving there. I'm looking for a job in the film industry and am trying to see what the market is like in LV. I'm not really looking so much for news stations as I am production studios. Would there be any casinos that have film departments or studios? Any ideas or names of some companies would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you'll find much of anything in the way of film production there. There's probably some really small scale stuff for casino-related film/promotions, but there's no studio/stage space in LV, and no production facilties of any consequence. Of course, that could all change if someone got smart and realized that land was cheap and studio space could easily be constructed, but there hasn't been a need/desire yet I guess.

The only production company I'm aware of is Levy Productions, and I think their studio is a whopping 800 SF or so.

I just replied to your PM, including a link for finding job fairs in the valley.

Like Bob said, film isn't huge out here, but you could probably find work at one of the news stations, or perhaps shooting commercials for the casinos.

Is LV known for being a huge pornographic film area? I know that California is known for that kind of stuff and much is filmed and is distributed from there. But is Las Vegas, also known for that?

A lot of production is done in Las Vegas. I'd bet it's third after LA and New York (but don't quote me). I believe you would have to join IATSE to get any work though. Check with them. IATSE Local 720 (http://www.iatselocal720.com/index2.htm - broken link)

There is a minor amount of porn shot in Vegas. Nothing to be worried about.

i think there's a minor amount shot in nearly every city.....we have had, on occassion, to throw out guests that have rented our suites because they were a good place to come in from California for a "location" shoot....and that usually happens when the Riviera has its porn convention.

I'd hate to be the maid that has to clean the room after that one!
