ALABAMA

The presence of Talladega Superspeedway, the white sand beaches near Mobile and the beautiful ocean views of Dauphin Island have lured filmmakers to this state since Universal used the famous Old Monroeville County Courthouse for To Kill a Mockingbird. Recent projects have included Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Antonio Campos’ Devil All the Time, Ava DuVernay’s Selma, About My Father with Robert DeNiro and the Stephen King thriller Gerald’s Game. With a comprehensive production directory and location catalogue, the Alabama Film Office is an excellent resource and has advocated for even more attractive incentives to appeal to producers.
