Boulder County Film Commission Earns AFCI Accreditation
January 5, 2026
The Boulder County Film Commission recently received the prestigious official accreditation as a member of the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI).
The AFCI works on a global stage to support film commissions and promotes film production through education, networking, and advocacy. Its primary goal is to facilitate on-location film and television production, which generates significant economic benefits for local communities. AFCI members must meet strict criteria for service to their respective film industry.
Becoming a member of the AFCI will help the Boulder County Film Commission more aggressively promote and market Boulder as a prime destination for filmmakers and production companies from around the world. This is especially important as our community works to capitalize on the attention Boulder is receiving in anticipation of welcoming the Sundance Film Festival here in 2027.
“The filmmaking community in the Boulder region is extremely talented and has earned many national and international awards,” said Boulder County Film Commissioner Bruce Borowsky. “Now, as part of the Boulder Chamber and an accredited AFCI member, the Boulder County Film Commission has a stronger platform for demonstrating that we have the crew and support industry infrastructure, as well as great scenic locations and excellent weather, for film production right here in Boulder County.”
The mission of the Boulder County Film Commission is to ignite and elevate the cinematic and creative spirit of Boulder and Boulder County, while championing filmmakers and others in the creative industry. The Film Commission achieves its mission by attracting dynamic productions to Boulder that showcase our region’s stunning landscapes, vibrant and diverse communities, and innovative spirit, while leading the charge to make Boulder and Boulder County a premier destination for film, television, and digital media.
“The Boulder County Film Commission, under the leadership of Film Commissioner Bruce Borowsky and Deputy Film Commissioner Tom Parkin, has united Boulder’s film and digital creative community with Boulder’s partner business support services in support of our collective interest in a strong film industry,” said Boulder Chamber President and CEO John Tayer. “Its tri-annual Schmoozers, Boulder Creative Directory, and the upcoming Boulder Creative Expo serve as the catalyst for these connections. It’s the support services that the Film Commission provides to Boulder’s filmmakers and digital creatives, though, that are the heart of its work and certainly justifies their accredited AFCI membership.”
