About the Mountain West Production Market
The Mountain West offers some of the most dramatic natural backdrops in North America, from the snow-capped Rockies and red-rock deserts of the Southwest to the neon spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip. Denver anchors the region as a growing tech and outdoor lifestyle hub, while Phoenix's year-round sunshine and expanding corporate footprint make it a reliable production market. Salt Lake City's combination of outdoor adventure access and a growing tech scene (the "Silicon Slopes") has turned it into an increasingly popular filming destination. Las Vegas rounds out the quartet as the nation's convention and entertainment capital.
Assignment Desk has staff Directors of Photography in all four Mountain West markets, providing local expertise and equipment for productions that need to move fast in challenging outdoor conditions or high-profile indoor venues. Our Denver crew regularly shoots at altitude in mountain locations, our Phoenix crew knows how to manage extreme desert heat, and our Las Vegas crew has the experience to handle everything from trade show floors to arena events.
The Mountain West's convention and trade show industry is a major driver of production demand, with Las Vegas alone hosting over 20,000 events per year. Add in the region's outdoor recreation economy, the ski and snowboard industry, and the growing tech corridor from Denver to Salt Lake City, and you have a region with surprisingly diverse and steady production needs year-round.
