Levi Vincent A.
President & CEO / Producer / Casting Director
Greater Palm Springs Film Alliance & Film Office
Levi Vincent has been a transformative force in the Greater Palm Springs film industry. Since 2015, he has reimagined the region’s potential, driving a 134% increase in annual film revenue and making the area one of Southern California’s most sought-after production hubs outside of Los Angeles.
As the head of the Greater Palm Springs Film Alliance & Film Office (FilmPalmSprings.com), Levi facilitates film permits, scouts locations, promotes crew, lists specialty vendors, and secures low-cost accommodations for productions. In 2016, he launched a groundbreaking casting division, enabling local talent to self-represent and connect directly with producers—a first among California’s film offices. His full-service production company supports international filmmakers in meeting state and local requirements, with Levi often serving as a co-producer.
Levi’s creative journey began with short story films that captured the attention of Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2009, leading to a contract where over 30 million customers engaged with his innovative content. He pioneered monetization strategies such as product placement and in-video upselling, now industry standards, and his company has produced original music, sound effects, and character voiceovers.
Levi champions local talent and resources through community outreach. His efforts connect productions with background talent, classic cars, private homes, business locations, and skilled crew members for projects spanning still photography, movies, music videos, and commercials.
Levi’s achievements have earned him numerous accolades, including the SBEMP Award for Entrepreneurship, a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition, and a Certificate of Recognition for Entrepreneurship from the California Legislature. He was also a Semi-Finalist in Emerging Platforms for the Inland Empire Spirit of the Entrepreneur Awards.
Beyond his professional work, Levi volunteers his time with the Arts, Media & Entertainment Council, Desert Sands Unified School District Advisory Council, Desert Screenwriter’s Guild, and Palm Springs Women in Film & Television. His dedication to fostering creativity and innovation continues to elevate the region’s cultural and economic profile.
