Known for its outdoor lifestyle, dynamic food scene & breweries, art galleries, and a pedestrian-friendly downtown (the famous Pearl Street Mall), Boulder offers filmmakers one-stop shopping! Here you can find scientists at NCAR, NOAA, and NIST; entrepreneurial experts at TechStars, Nobel Prize-winning professors at the University of Colorado at Boulder, internationally-known digital artists like Android Jones, and national trade groups for the Natural Foods industry and the Outdoor Products industry. Oh, and did we mention Rocky Mountain National Park is just down the road?
