Explore the best places to shoot film in Washington DC

Films and movies are some of the most intensive visual arts to plan. They involve writing a complex script, casting, and of course, choosing the right venues that support the story being told. There's a reason so many movies are set in Washington, D.C., however. It's one of the most iconic cities in the United States, with neighborhoods and architecture that's very distinctive. You'll also find production companies here with facilities dedicated to the needs of filmmakers. It's one of the best possible places to be shooting a film, so let's see what DC has to offer.

The best film shooting locations in Washington DC

Whether you're planning a commercial, an action film with green screens, a documentary interview, or something else, Washington, D.C. has plenty of amenity-filled film shooting locations for hire. One place to work from is inside of a film production company. These venues include warehouse complexes, loft studios, and creative complexes scattered throughout the city.
Most have one or more sets that are blank slates waiting for your creative touch. You can import your own set equipment - or you can book a film shooting venue that is predesigned! These replicate the look of a hospital, prison, restaurant, or other prop-intensive space, freeing up your budget for other filmmaking considerations. Movie sets are mostly soundproofed spaces as well so the noise of nearby traffic or conversations won't interfere with capturing pristine audio. These venues are ideal for shooting music videos, movies, commercials, and many more uses.
Film production companies also have amenities on-site like staff lounges, kitchens, and creative studios with the latest production equipment. You can also hire staff to run extra video cameras, drum up hype for an upcoming film via social media, or assist with production planning. They are a one-stop-shop for all of your filmmaking needs!

Top film shoot venues in Washington DC

If you want to take your film shoot outside of a studio, consider working with any of the film-friendly businesses in the DC area. From salons to restaurants, you can have a creative space that's immediately available and full of authentic props. Loft studios are another option; these creative venues offer the benefits of a film production company set in a smaller package. Some are blank slates while others come packed with amenities like studio backdrops, soundproofing, extra video cameras for rent, and more.

Downtown Studio with Amazing Lighting & Greenery
and the host was super communicative! Overall a great experience. I will put a caveat in for people who may be filming video here, as we did: this studio is directly in a flight path to the airport so recording clean audio can be difficult...
