Western Film Region

Western Pennsylvania is rich in beauty, history, ethnicity and the changing face of industry. Like other parts of the state, the area is steeped in reminders of the past. Historic sites and well-preserved buildings mark the years from before the Revolutionary War through the Industrial Revolution.

Steel mills and Steelers…modern subway and skyscrapers…exquisite restorations…dramatic river and skyline views.

Much of its industrial past remains to add to the variety of Pittsburgh-area film locations. But today the smoke has cleared and Pittsburgh has become one of the favorite cities in the U.S. Two urban renaissances in three decades, the second one costing $2.4 billion, have created the thrilling skyline, the corporate emphasis and the cultural phenomenon that define Pittsburgh today.

Erie is strategically located in the Western Region on the shore of the Great Lake that bears its name. Erie is a treasure trove of historical locations plus nostalgic and contemporary American sites.
