🏆 WE WON! 🏆

The Humboldt Del Norte Film Commission has been named the LMGI’s Outstanding Film Commission Internationally for our work on One Battle After Another!

For a small, rural film commission tucked behind the redwood curtain to receive this international recognition is almost impossible to put into words. This award belongs to our incredible team, our Board of Directors, our local partners, property owners, businesses, volunteers and the communities of Humboldt and Del Norte counties who continue to welcome the film industry with open arms.

A special thank you to Location Manager Michael Glaser for nominating us, to the filmmakers who trusted us with this extraordinary production, and to the Location Managers Guild International for recognizing the work of film commissions around the world.

Last night, our little corner of Northern California stood on an international stage…and we won. ❤️🎬
