Film Commission

Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley are located in the West Elk Mountains of central Colorado. If you’re looking for a film location that offers miles of trails on acres of public lands, scenic vistas, lots of water, winding and exciting roads (dirt or paved), comfortable towns, and an in-town airport, then you need to check us out!

Locations and Past Projects

We are certainly biased, but we believe that the Gunnison Valley and surrounding parts of Colorado offer some of the most scenic and beautiful filming locations in the Rocky Mountain West. Combine all that with plentiful public land, friendly locals, great food, affordable lodging, and an incredible community of local creatives who can help your project come to life, we think you’ll want to consider holding your next shoot in Gunnison County. We’ve built this site to provide all of the information you need to make it happen.

Matchstick Productions Demo Reel

Matchstick Productions (aka MSP) has been based right here in Crested Butte for 25 years. They put together the reel below for us to showcase some of our most beautiful locations in the Gunnison Valley and nearby.

Into the Cold Press Trip with Meyvn Creative and Eric Larsen

In late 2017, we collaborated with polar explorer Eric Larsen and his sponsors on a press trip. Local Agency Meyvn Creative supplied both photo and video assets for Eric, his sponsors, and the media who joined us on a winter camping adventure. Some photos from the overnight expedition to Lake Irwin:

Product Shoot with Devon Balet Media

Devon is a former Crested Butte resident and photographer who seems to come back regularly for product shoots and other assignments. We’ve partnered with him in the past on some of our events. Here are a couple of shots from a shoot he did for Bern Unlimited.
