In real estate, location is one of the most important factors, for the ReadingFilm Office (RFO) that same tenet rings true. RFO was founded to promote the region as a location destination for film and media production. With their website, they provide resources and location examples for potential filmmakers looking for new and unique locations to film.

The location database for RFO was supported through IMAGINE Berks to help raise the profile of Berks County, both regionally and nationally, for creatives, filmmakers, and other entertainment industry professionals alike. In addition to the location database, RFO attends trade shows, events, and host classes for locals passionate about the film industry.

And if you haven’t yet attended the annual Reading FilmFEST, you need to mark your calendar!  It is a vivid and lively celebration of filmmakers from around the world and showcases incredible industry talent.  The FilmFEST is a premier platform for networking, awards, and supporting the local film industry.

From Main Streets to farms to incredible seasonal vistas, Berks County has widely varied landscape, a true strength for our region. If there is a location that you know about, you can fill out the form on RFO’s website to add that as a new filming location to their database.
