Colorado Office of Film Television & Media
Overview
The Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media (COFTM) serves as the state's official film office, promoting Colorado as a premier destination for film, television, commercial, documentary, digital media and video game production. As part of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), COFTM works to attract productions that generate economic impact while supporting the growth of Colorado's creative industries. Through strategic marketing, industry partnerships and statewide advocacy, the office showcases Colorado's diverse landscapes, talented workforce and production resources to filmmakers around the world.
COFTM provides a wide range of services to productions filming in Colorado, including assistance with location scouting, government liaison services, permitting guidance, crew and vendor referrals, and connections to regional film commissions throughout the state. The office also administers Colorado's film incentive program, offering qualifying productions a refundable tax credit to encourage filming and content creation across Colorado.
A valuable resource for Colorado's film community is the Colorado Film Crew and Support Services Directory, a free online directory where Colorado-based cast, crew members, production companies, equipment providers and support service businesses can create professional profiles to showcase their experience and services. The searchable directory helps producers quickly identify qualified professionals for productions across the state, making it easier for local talent to connect with new opportunities. COFTM also maintains a free statewide Film Location Directory, allowing property owners to list film-friendly locations for consideration by location scouts and production companies.
Beyond production support, COFTM is committed to developing Colorado's film workforce through education and professional development. The office partners with schools, colleges, universities, regional film commissions and industry organizations to provide workshops, educational grants, career panels and networking opportunities that prepare the next generation of filmmakers. By supporting film festivals, regional film offices and industry initiatives throughout the state, COFTM continues to strengthen Colorado's creative economy and foster a thriving, collaborative film community.
