Filming in WA

“Filming in WA is always a treat…

“From the diverse landscapes with their vibrant colours and light, the rich cultural, coastal offerings of Perth and Fremantle and the access to a plethora of locations offering the full spectrum of Australian identity, I always look forward to filming here. Add to this a rapidly developing film community that gives access to a range of broadcast professionals, WA has to be one of the leading filming destinations in the country.”

– Dale Cochrane, Cinematographer
