Idaho’s good enough for Clint Eastwood.
So guess what? It’s good enough for you.
Have you seen Pale Rider? Bronco Billy? Okay, it’s been a few years. But our landscapes are still as breath-taking, and our cowboys still as gruff. Only now their ranches run on GPS technology and our Indian citizens are casino moguls.
Nonetheless, Idaho is a sweet little place folks like John McClane and Forrest Gump like to call home (or maybe second home). It’s got somethin’ for everyone – some of the most diverse topography of all the fifty states. So chances are, you can cheat it in Idaho.
Here at the Idaho Film Office, we’ll carry you uphill in snow if it’ll make your production a more pleasant one. And you’ll like our crew, too - they’re skilled professionals and they're eager to assist you.
Have you read Forbes? Money? USA Today? Idaho is evolving into a sophisticated population of high-tech workers and world-class artists. In 2006 Boise was listed as one of the best places to live in the country according to Money Magazine and named the # 1 Adventure City according to National Geographic Adventurer magazine.
So, bring it on. We’re ready.
