Information
Welcome to the City of Bellflower, a film-friendly community inside the 30-mile zone. Whether you’re looking to shoot quaint neighborhoods, “Main Street, USA,” charming architecture, or even a top-quality aquatics center, we’ve got that hard-to-find “middle America” look and feel you need.
In addition, we’ve earned our reputation for excellent service over the years with an accommodating city government and a streamlined, client-friendly permitting system. Previous on-location shoots in Bellflower include Gangster Squad, The Amazing Spider-Man, Jane the Virgin, and Larry Crown, in addition to commercials for American Express, Denny’s, Audi, and Mercedes Benz.
Any filming or still photography on public or private property within the City of Bellflower requires a film permit. Non-commercial filming (filming for personal use and breaking news coverage) does not require a film permit.
