Marana Film Office

Marana Filming Services

Marana, Arizona is located 20 minutes (13 miles) north of downtown Tucson, along both sides of the I-10 freeway that connects Tucson and Phoenix.

Marana has The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, historic dude ranches, an authentic vintage cowboy steakhouse, dramatic scenery, brand new suburban neighborhoods, a regional airport, newer limited-service hotels, and locally-owned restaurants. 

Film production companies discovered Marana's beautiful scenery as ideal locations for filming probably stretching back to the 1910s. Marana continues to be the setting of iconic movies, t.v. series, and commercial filming.
