Director Phillip Noyce, the creator of "The Quiet American," couldn't hide his emotion when recalling his time working here. He shared: "Vietnam is not just a setting, but also a living character in my film. Therefore, being able to film in this very land is incredibly meaningful. Although we faced many difficulties, the enthusiasm and support from the Vietnamese government helped us overcome everything."
Vietnam is not just a setting, but also a living character in the film.
Speaking at the program, Deputy Minister Ho An Phong said: “The Vietnam Tourism and Film Promotion Program in the United States is organized to introduce and promote tourist destinations and potential filming locations in Vietnam, attracting Hollywood studios to film big-budget movies that have the potential to create international media buzz, thereby promoting and attracting tourists to Vietnam.”

Justin Booth, the executive producer of the film "The Challenge," couldn't hide his surprise and delight when sharing his experience filming in Vietnam. "I've traveled to many places around the world, but the beauty of Vietnam is truly unique and left a deep impression on me. Every street corner, every person has their own distinct character, making me feel like I've stepped into a whole new world."
Vietnam is becoming an attractive destination for international filmmakers. With its advantageous landscapes, rich culture, and government support, Vietnam's film industry is thriving.
The blend of the modern beauty of major cities and the ancient charm of traditional villages further enhances the appeal of our country.
“Imagine films set against the backdrop of the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay, the ancient charm of Hoi An, or the modern energy of Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam has a diverse range of settings that can breathe life into your stories,” said Deputy Minister Ho An Phong.
Vietnam, with its rich history and diverse culture, is an endless source of inspiration for filmmakers. From ancient villages to modern cities, from traditional festivals to unique customs, Vietnam has its own stories to tell. A team of talented and experienced professionals is ready to collaborate with international filmmakers on every project. Furthermore, production costs in Vietnam are very reasonable, and the modern infrastructure creates favorable conditions for large film crews.
Vietnam has extended an invitation to American film crews to explore Vietnam as the next filming location for blockbuster movies, collaborating to create valuable cinematic works that will help promote the country's image to the international community.
