Film Liaison
Vancouver WA is located on the southern edge of Washington State, where we experience a mild four-season climate—perfect for shooting. With historic neighborhoods, a reconstructed fort, a chronicled airfield, charming small towns, and a thriving urban core plus scenic drives, railroads, and buildings of all ages, Southwest Washington offers an array of visuals.
Diverse Natural Beauty
Our natural beauty is just as diverse. With the incredible Columbia River, thousands of acres of natural land and forests, Moulton Falls and Lucia Falls along the Lewis River, a national wildlife refuge, and the majestic Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood in the background, the region offers terrain that supports many narratives.
