The premiere of The Grande Hall at Liberty Tower
Advancing the art, craft and business of film in the Dayton region
Created in 2008, our first victory was helping the state pass a competitive film tax incentive in 2009 which would attract film projects to Ohio. We then worked to showcase locally made films through our film festivals and educate a diverse workforce to fill the jobs created as productions took advantage of The Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit. In 2016 we officially became The Greater Dayton Film Commission, educating, promoting and advocating for growth of our local film industry. We offer concierge services to productions that include permitting, permissions, and location scouting for productions to drive economic development for our 9 county region.
We've had success with films like Miles Ahead - an exploration of the life & music of Miles Davis, Goat- a fraternity drama produced by James Franco that starred Nick Jonas and most recently, The Old Man and The Gun.
So please join us as we celebrate our 10th anniversary in the venue that served as the Dayton set for the filming of Robert Redford's last movie, The Old Man and the Gun.
This is your chance to case the joint, just like Robert Redford did in this
bank heist drama that was filmed here last spring.
Enjoy a nosh at the craft services table,
where Danny Glover
spent time between takes.
You'll have a chance to enjoy a cocktail in the bank vault and 
buy a key to a safety deposit box and claim the prize inside to support FilmDayton.
You can see where Casey Affleck was looking for clues to solve the bank robbery or jut take in the view from above like Tom Waits is doing here .
