Describing the entire state of Colorado as a turn-key production location may seem over the top, but spend time on this site and you'll understand our enthusiasm. Colorado is the most geographically diverse, and history and location rich destination in the country. It's hard to be modest, but it shouldn't be too hard to convince you we're right.
Firstly, there's no reason to dispel your vision of Colorado as a snow-covered land of mountain peaks and ski resorts, because that's real and as beautiful as you think. But there's an even larger Colorado, including one of the highest densities of historic buildings and towns in the country. With more than 1,300 National Historic Properties/Districts and several living museums, a set you'd have to build elsewhere is production-ready for you here.
Secondly, it's true, we're a natural wonder. From red rock canyons, vineyards and dinosaur tracks in the West, to wide-open prairies and grasslands to the East; from bold mountains, rushing rivers and giant parks in the North, to stunning Old Mexico towns, giant sand dunes and wide open valleys of the South, Colorado is raw, wild and wildly diverse. Everything but the ocean, we like to say, and our landscape can play backdrop to an unending array.
But we're more than nature and history. We're modern metro-Denver, military bases and smoke-stack industry. We're oil wells and wind farms, historic railroads and high country ranches, deserted towns and derelict buildings. We're inner-city character and emerging-neighborhood hip. We're Frank Ghery-designed museums and world class amphitheaters, historic opera houses and famous ski towns. We're also more than 3,236 miles of Scenic and Historic Byways, 400 ghost towns, and dozens of production friendly ranches ready for your lens.
Shoot Colorado is an industry-first: a 100-page, town-by-town guide of an entire state prepared especially for the production industry. It is a unique public-private partnership dedicated to showcasing one of the world's most beautiful places as a top-shelf production destination, and helping you find the resources and locations you need for a successful shoot.
Whether you're producing a feature or an indie, an episode or a documentary, a catalog or a car commercial, we welcome you. We look forward to sharing this amazing slice of production paradise and are here to assist with any part of your production, any step of the way. Welcome to Colorado.
