This area is established for the purposes of filming contacts, schedules, and other information pertinent to Castleberry Hill residents and businesses as well as the filming and production companies. The Castleberry Hill neighborhood has been used numerous times for filming from TV to the big screen and everything in between. The classic look and charm of the neighborhood, the buildings that have been restored but retain their historic look and feel, the skyline views of the city, the convenience of being downtown, the trains, and plenty of people willing to open their homes and businesses all make Castleberry Hill very conducive to filming.
The purpose of the CHNA Film Committee is to assist productions as they film in the neighborhood, to ensure the least impact to residents & businesses, and encourage communication, while at the same time educating the community about filming to create a positive environment around it. When you choose to have filming at your residence, building, or business, you become an ambassador for the neighborhood and are tasked w/ helping ensure communication between the production company and neighborhood. The neighborhood has developed Filming Guidelines and all production companies are asked to pay a donation/impact fee to the non-profit CHNA to assist w/ arts & beautification efforts in the neighborhood. Please note that the CHNA Film Committee does not get involved in any financial dealings between the production company and residents/businesses. If you have questions or would like to volunteer for the committee please email film@castleberryhill.org.
