About the West Coast Production Market
The West Coast is home to Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and the global entertainment and technology industries — making it one of the most active and competitive production markets on the planet. Los Angeles remains the entertainment capital of the world, with an unmatched depth of production talent, studio infrastructure, and creative resources. San Francisco and the broader Bay Area fuel a constant demand for tech industry content, from product launches and keynotes to corporate brand films and startup pitch videos. Seattle's growing tech scene, anchored by Amazon, Microsoft, and a thriving indie production community, rounds out the West Coast trio.
Assignment Desk's West Coast crew brings decades of combined experience across broadcast television, feature films, commercials, and corporate production. Our LA-based DPs have shot for every major network and streaming platform, while our San Francisco crew specializes in the fast-paced, high-expectations world of tech industry video. Seattle's crew covers the Pacific Northwest from Portland to Vancouver, BC.
The West Coast's diverse landscapes — from the beaches of Malibu to the redwood forests of Northern California to the rain-soaked streets of Seattle — provide an extraordinary range of production backdrops within a single region. Combined with the creative energy of the entertainment and tech industries, the West Coast continues to set the standard for video production quality and innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does your Los Angeles crew cover?

Yes. Our San Francisco crew covers the entire Bay Area including Silicon Valley (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino, San Jose), the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley), Marin County, and Sacramento. This gives you single-crew coverage for tech campus shoots, downtown SF corporate work, and Bay Area event coverage.
