The Location Expo is a major event in the film and television industry, where film commissions from around the globe present their locations and services. This year, Turkey participated in the 29th edition of the expo held in Hollywood.
Erdal Aktan, Vice President of the Turkish Film Commission Association, shared with Anadolu Agency that although Turkey is still catching up in the film industry, its promotional efforts are crucial for growth.
Aktan noted, "In the U.S., every state has a film commission. Filmmakers often turn to these commissions for support and to find suitable locations. We have now established the Turkish Film Commission to attract international producers to Turkey."
Supported by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and various local municipalities, the Turkish Film Commission aims to position Turkey as a prime location for film production. By highlighting its natural beauty and rich cultural and historical heritage, Turkey is set to become a key player in the global film industry.
