The city of Sioux Falls is a vibrant, growing city, having grown by over 27% in the last decade alone. Currently, Sioux Falls host a population of around 158,000 people, with a surrounding metro area of around 238,000. About an hour and a half west along I-90, the town of Mitchell hosts a quieter community of around 15,000 people. Together, these towns offer a variety of filmmaking opportunities, including urban areas, historic landmarks, and the falls along the Big Sioux River, from which Sioux Falls derives its name. If you are looking at a career in film as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, Sioux Falls holds more opportunities than you might think.
