Film commission

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of movies and TV shows? They are really fun to watch! But did you know that before they can be made, someone has to find the right place and people to help them make it?

That's where a film commission comes in. A film commission is a group of people who work together to help TV shows and movies find the perfect location to film. They know all the best spots in their town or city, like cool buildings, pretty parks, or interesting streets, that would look great on camera.

The film commission also helps by making sure that everyone who is involved in making the movie or TV show is happy and has everything they need. They might help find places for the actors to stay or food for everyone to eat. They might also help with things like getting permission to film in certain places and making sure everything is safe.

All of this hard work paid off, because when you watch your favorite movies and TV shows, you are seeing the result of the film commission's effort. Without the help of a film commission, movies and TV shows might not look as great, and they might not even be able to be made at all!
