VISTA CALIFORNIA – A RARE FIND FOR FILM MAKERS, EVERY STREET IS A UNIQUE MOVIE SET
The historic district is a premier “Americana” Film Set; comprised of independent and family-owned restaurants, pubs and shops. Its charm lies in the preservation of its historic buildings and its underlying artistic vibe. Through the years, musicians, painters, sculptors and writers have all added to its unique look and feel. Every street is a unique movie set. As a cinematographer, you will feel like a kid in a candy shop in this one of a kind environment. The surrounding hillsides provide stunning locations such as French Farmhouse estates, castles, western sets and other unique and hard to find locations. Vista is a Climactic Wonderland and has been rated the best weather in the country; boasting 340 exterior shooting days out of the year.
WHAT FILM MAKERS ARE SAYING ABOUT VISTA
With the Vision and support of the City of Vista, filmmakers will be able to create their stories in a very special place. This has been my experience working in Vista as I shot my feature film TRACING FORCE. The support, from technical requirements to a film friendly atmosphere, Vista is the place to be, the place to grow.
Elias Acosta - Esar Studios
Elias Acosta (Film Director, Producer, Visual Effects Producer) and I have just completed a top-of-the-range sci-fi pilot shot 90 % with virtual sets with the latest engine available under professional circumstances that one could only dream of as a producer working primarily in LA. Having these slick, on-par, clean, and affordable facilities including the manpower to deliver high-tech execution of this caliber is a trump card up any producer’s sleeve and I would pick no other place than Vista, The Film Hub, and this exceptional team as my #1.
Last but not least, you will never find a place more welcoming and accommodating than these kind, professional industry experts who possess not only pristine integrity (rare to find in this industry!) but also the expertise and focus to make it happen and that is the magic mix that you cannot put a price-tag on.
