The announcement of the official launch of the Pocono Mountains Sports, Entertainment & Film Commission marks a significant milestone in the region’s endeavors to promote sports tourism, unique entertainment initiatives, and film production. The commission’s mission is to drive economic development for the local communities by expanding existing events and creating new opportunities in the scenic Pocono Mountains. One of the commission’s significant initiatives is establishing the Poconos Film Office, aimed at attracting film and television productions to the region.
Led by Ralph Lucchese, the Poconos Film Office is already making strides in bringing high-profile productions to the area. Notable projects include a Discovery Channel production, a major automotive commercial shoot, and ongoing discussions with independent filmmakers, location scouts, and production companies.
The Pocono Mountains’ natural beauty and infrastructure are solid foundations for attracting major events and productions. With diverse venues and landscapes, including extensive facilities like Pocono Raceway and the Amphitheater at Poconos Park, as well as quaint downtown streets, theaters, forests, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls, the region offers a versatile backdrop for a variety of events and productions.
The formation of the Pocono Mountains Sports, Entertainment & Film Commission has garnered support from community and business leaders across the four Pocono Mountains counties – Carbon, Monroe, Wayne, and Pike. Their collective efforts and dedication to leveraging the region’s unique attributes highlight a shared vision to drive economic growth and enhance the area’s reputation as a top-shelf visitor destination and a growing hub for industry professionals.
As the office continues attracting attention from filmmakers, producers, and industry professionals, it underlines the Pocono Mountains’ potential to carve a deeper niche in film and television production. With its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and dedicated team, the Poconos Film Office is ready to offer big studio projects and independent filmmakers a smooth and successful production experience.
