Since taking office, Jen has transformed how this film community is viewed. We were never supported in this way in Sacramento before and we’re all very grateful for every little successful step forward our film commissioner takes. We feel those wins in every way. From procuring and expediting permits to set visits, her uplifting nature makes our visiting guests feel welcomed and wanted.

Since becoming the Sacramento film commissioner, Jennifer West has improved the filming process in our region by leaps and bounds. As a video production company with over 30 years in the area, we really appreciate her approach and knowledge of how our industry works. Jennifer is very hands on; she personally came by to introduce herself and has even stopped by to visit a shoot. It is this kind of involvement that makes her so good at her job. Jennifer West is what a great film commissioner is all about.

Ever since Jennifer West became the city's film commissioner, the Sacramento Media Center, which has been at this location for 25 years, has never been busier. Sacramento has been in need of her abilities to develop and support the local film industry for a very long time.

Our Sacramento film commissioner Jennifer West has been responsible for a huge boost in making Sacramento film friendly since she took office. My clients have expressed how helpful she is to local and outside producers with filming, parking permits and securing local locations to film here in the Sacramento area. My Grip and Lighting rental business has been in Sacramento for over 35 years and we can not be more happy with her performance in bringing good paying commercial and film jobs to our area.

We truly feel we have a partner at the City of Sacramento when it comes to community involvement, permits, locations, and general support! Jennifer's fresh outlook and vision for Film+Media engagements in Sacramento inspire us as a community member and as an organization that strives to develop media talent and content production in the region.

Sacramento Film + Media has it all and Jen West is its beating heart. From tree-lined waters to modern plazas, vast green spaces to urban bustle, colorful murals, inviting neighborhoods, the river delta with its hidden vineyards and historic towns to Old Sacramento, the fab 40’s, Lands End Park and the Tower Bridge crossing over the Sacramento River. Scouting and filming in Sacramento is a pleasure, and I look forward to working here every chance I get.

Jennifer West, Sacramento Film Commissioner, is always helpful with our TV Commercial Projects. She is the perfect person to lead Sacramento, our Capitol City, with her wealth of experience and information that will shape our new normal while filming. I recently shot a TV Commercial for Golden 1 in Sacramento. She was instrumental in securing our permits and locations. I look forward to working in Sacramento with her leadership.
