Get Real World Film Production Experience in Colorado Springs

Located at the base of majestic Pike’s Peak, the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado is home to over 400,000 people. The defense industry is one of the largest economic factors in this area, being home to Peterson Air Force Base, the United States Air Force Academy, and the strategic Cheyenne Mountain NORAD base nearby–which has also provided a backdrop for numerous movies and television shows. Colorado Springs is situated amid breathtaking natural scenery, including mountains, rock formations, and rolling plains, making it highly conducive for location filming.

Besides being home to several production companies, Colorado Springs also regularly sees the filming of major movies, TV shows and documentaries–among which are the films WarGames, Independence Day and Fast Food Nation, and television shows such as Stargate SG-1, just to name a few. If you are considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraperson, Colorado Springs holds plenty of opportunities to learn.
