Established in 1978, the Hawaii Film Office is the one-stop central coordinator for film and photographic use of state-administered parks, beaches, highways, and facilities. The office works closely with state agencies to assist filmmakers with acquiring film permits, and if necessary, directs them to the appropriate county and federal agencies.

The office also provides location, tax incentive, and production resource information to filmmakers; manages the Hawaii Film Studio at Diamond Head; promotes Hawaii as a filming destination; and develops the local film and television industry in the islands.

Headed by State Film Commissioner Donne Dawson, the Hawaii Film Office is your official government liaison, and we will work hard to ensure your Hawaii production runs as smoothly as possible. 

Call us, email us, or come by for a visit--we're here to help you!
