CLEVELAND, OH – Jan. 29, 2020
The Greater Cleveland Film Commission today announced Cleveland, Ohio has been named one of MovieMaker‘s Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2020, ranking 16th out of 20 big cities. MovieMaker determined the winners using surveys, editorial research on tax incentives and recent productions, and personal visits to most of the locations on the list. The full list of winning cities and towns is below.
“We’re thrilled about the new and returning cities and towns on our list of creatively thriving places for moviemakers to do great work. This year, we decided to move Los Angeles and New York City to the Hall of Fame of Best Places to Live and Work as a MovieMaker, which opened up the list to richly deserving new communities that are creating their own great film legacies,” said MovieMaker editor-in-chief Tim Molloy.
