FILMING IN BUTTE, MONTANA

In Butte, we are a community full of economic possibilities!

There’s an energy in Butte invigorating, strengthening, and inspiring innovation and entrepreneurism. We have a strong sense of culture and place, focused on advancing our community. Butte-Silver Bow is a community dedicated to bringing new enterprises and projects to life. When Governor Bullock incentivized the film industry in 2019, Butte knew this industry would find our community welcoming and ready to assist in any way, thus the birth of the Butte Film & Entertainment Committee (BFEC). The BFEC is a small well-connected group of professionals offering a one-source stop for film-related needs. We know your time is precious; the goal of the BFEC is to make it easy for film projects to conduct business in our community and the surrounding area.

BENEFITS OF FILMING IN BUTTE

UNIQUE LOCATIONS

At the turn of the century, Butte was one of the largest cities west of the Mississippi. Today, Butte’s colorful history can be seen in its ethnic neighborhoods, preserved Victorian uptown business district and stately mansions. Located virtually on the Continental Divide, surrounded by mountains, the Mile High City lies on some of the world’s richest mineral reserves. The outlying area features numerous ghost towns and abandoned mines.

FILM-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY

Butte has a long history of being an arts and entertainment community. The Mother Lode Theatre and many festivals through the summer, including the Covellite Film Festival, provide opportunities for the community to partake in theatrical performances. Butte has had many films, commercials, documentaries, and music videos filmed across its many background vignettes.

LOW COST OF LIVING

Butte has an average home sale price of $129,800. Prices of rental properties range from about $550 to $600 for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment. 2-4 bedroom homes range from about $750-$1,000. The Cost of Living Index estimates the relative price levels for consumer goods and services. When applied to wages and salaries, the result is a measure of relative purchasing power. The cost of living is 9% lower in Silver-Bow County than the U.S. average.

WORKFORCE READY

The low cost-of-living has made Butte an attractive arts community, where artists, film-makers, and more can master their talent at an affordable cost. The community has workforce experienced from film-making, production, audio, electrical, grip, and more. The BEDT can also assist with development of a training program to suit your needs with Career Futures, Montana Works, and Highlands College.

INEXPENSIVE FILMING COSTS

The community is excited to welcome filming projects and are willing to be a friendly helping hand whenever and wherever possible. Locations are easily facilitated and inexpensive. Filming permits or fees are not required unless to close county roads. Permits are required on National Forest Service land but can be obtained easily and without a fee, depending on the scope of the project.
