Visit Desoto, the Tourism department for Desoto County, is the Film Commission for DeSoto County. If you are looking for a location to shoot a movie, advertisement, film or do a photo shoot, please consider DeSoto County. The State of Florida offers the Florida Entertainment Industry Sales Tax Exemption, making this an even more attractive place to film.
Here is Florida Wild, you’ll find pristine river wilderness areas that bring to mind places of centuries ago—you expect to see a T-Rex thundering through the trees. It’s as if no other humans have been here before.
The Peace River offers the setting for everything from wild adventures to relaxing family canoe trips. You won’t have to look far to see incredible wildlife: deer, alligators, turtles, a myriad of bird species and
more.
Step back to the early 1900s in Arcadia’s historic district. Homes, commercial buildings, and hotels offer the backdrop for Main Street, USA-type shots or historic images. If wide open spaces or grazing livestock are more appealing, DeSoto County could be just what you
need. We have more cattle than humans here. Ranching scenes await.
