Palmdale Film Bureau Taps Tripepi Smith for Strategic Plan
The City of Palmdale enlisted Tripepi Smith to craft a 10-year strategic plan for the City’s Film Bureau. Adopted by the City Council in December 2023, the Strategic Plan for Film Palmdale will serve as a roadmap to stimulating growth in the local film economy.
Tripepi Smith Creative Director Kevin Bostwick led on project design while Business Analyst Peter Johnson supported with research, stakeholder interviews and writing. The result was an imaginative, eye-catching document anchored in five core goals and dozens of implementation actions informed by the team’s in-depth research.
“Tripepi Smith is proud of our work with Palmdale developing an actionable blueprint to transform the city into the film industry anchor in the Antelope Valley,” shared Kevin Bostwick. “We wanted to let Palmdale’s unique charm and readiness as a movie-making hub shine through. It was also just plain fun to explore Palmdale’s sets, scenery and soundstage.”
From enhancing Film Palmdale marketing efforts, to facilitating studio and sound stage development, to hosting film festivals, Palmdale will strive to take advantage of its proximity to Hollywood and its robust local industry workforce to achieve its goals.
“The Strategic Plan for Film Palmdale represents our City’s commitment to a long-term vision and growth plan for the film industry that will benefit our entire community,” said Austin Bishop, City of Palmdale Mayor. “We thank the Tripepi Smith team for working with us to put this exciting vision to paper and for delivering an exceptional end product that will help Palmdale prosper.”
