Filming Contacts
Thank you for considering
Avalon and Catalina Island as a location for
your film or photo shoot project.
Our unique island location
makes for a very special location – and presents
some unique challenges. The Catalina Island
Chamber of Commerce has produced a handbook to
help you identify and locate those businesses
and entities with whom you will have to
interface in order to have a successful shoot.
The Chamber is also available to assist you in
processing your permits, answering your
questions, and assisting you in finding the
products and services you might require from
local businesses.
