Why film here
The Bay of Plenty is film-friendly and primed to support local, national, and international productions with accessible and diverse locations, talented and experienced crew, infrastructure, and suppliers that can gear up or down to suit the needs of your production.
Support
Our region offers a strong and inviting package to producers and content creators.
With extensive knowledge in all areas of film production, we can provide production assistance with location scouting, film permitting, crew and service provision, and advocacy and liaison with local government and communities.
Using our local expertise takes the guesswork, and some of the legwork, out of filming on location in the Bay of Plenty.
“Thank you very much for everything, you guys have been a huge help in this project.”
Lourdes Bruschini
Account Manager at Eleven PR NZ

Our team brings 20+ years of onset experience from productions like Narnia and The Hobbit and we understand and help facilitate both creative and logistical needs. We offer five hours of production support to enable your production ease of filming in the Bay.
Our location
The region encompasses Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupō, Western Bay of Plenty, Whakatāne, Kawerau and Ōpōtiki. With only a 2 – 3hour drive to Auckland or a short 30 minute flight from one of regional airports the Bay has enough urban infrastructure to support your production.
The advantage of having reverse seasons helps extend shooting windows and short drive times between our diverse, fresh and untapped filming locations helps with keeping your production efficient.
