By: Ridgecrest Film Commission | September 21, 2020
Updates from the Ridgecrest Regional Film Commission
Fall Updates
With film production resuming across California, the Ridgecrest Regional Film Commission has been thrilled to welcome shoots back to the region, including a project for Netflix UK. We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 situation in the region, and have been thankful that numbers have stayed relatively low in Ridgecrest compared to other parts of the county.
We will continue to monitor and abide by all state, county, and city regulations, and are following the recommendations put forth in the "Proposed Health and Safety Guidelines for Motion Picture, Television and Streaming Productions During the COVID-19 Pandemic" by the Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee Task Force. You can read those guidelines in pdf form here.

Release Change - Top Gun: Maverick (Summer 2021)
Top Gun: Maverick shot on location at the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake as well as Inyokern Airport and Cuddeback Dry Lake Bed. Tom Cruise also shot motorcycle scenes along a stretch of road in south Ridgecrest, as seen in the trailer above.
We are beyond excited for the world to see these locations on the big screen, but due to COVID-19 you will have to wait a bit longer. The release has been pushed from December 2020 to July 2021.
Location Spotlight:
Inyokern Airport
An ideal location for productions requiring an open-air environment with an unobstructed natural background. Paved runways and taxiways can be used for ground vehicle and aircraft scenes, including high-speed operations. Recently used to shoot scenes for Top Gun: Maverick.
