The Greater Philadelphia Film Office (GPFO) functions as a film commission for southeastern Pennsylvania, representing Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Founded in 1985 and now operating as a regional nonprofit economic development agency based in Philadelphia, GPFO aims to grow the local film and video industry while attracting productions ranging from feature films to television commercials and industrial projects. The organization provides free producer assistance with parking, permits, labor, and locations, serving as a liaison between productions and the local community to streamline processes and reduce red tape. Positioned within the movies, video, and sound industry, GPFO emphasizes job creation, regional publicity, and economic impact tied to film production in the region, which it attributes to well over a billion dollars since 1992. A recent development notes an expansion of its offices to Bangkok, signaling international outreach alongside its regional focus.
