MOVIE AND VIDEO SITES

Over the years the City of Bertram and the area around Bertram have been the locations for various movies, videos, TV programs, and commercials. Bertram’s historic buildings provide a rich backdrop for “vintage” shoots, and Bertram’s Historic Train Depot and tracks also provide backdrops for historical or period shoots. Additionally, the diversity and beauty of the countryside lends itself to a variety of possibilities.

​

The City of Bertram and many area land owners are receptive to commercial filming. Please contact City Hall at 512.355.2197 for more information.
