Tiger House Films | Visit Anaheim City Tourism Commercial
Tiger House Films partnered with Rowe to produce “Made To Play,” a city tourism commercial for Visit Anaheim, a vibrant campaign that celebrates the true character of a city too often defined by a single neighbor.
This city tourism commercial was created by the Tiger House Films team from the ground up, pairing hands-on production expertise with fun, quirky cinematography and VFX interlaced with AI to give the campaign a fresh, distinctive edge.
What makes this city tourism commercial particularly significant is the creative challenge at its core. Anaheim is a city whose identity is easy to flatten into the shadow of Disney’s major presence there. Our team approached this campaign not as a workaround, but as an opportunity to gently nod to the city’s most famous resident without leaning on it, instead putting the spotlight on everything else Anaheim has to offer.
Producing a city tourism commercial of this scope required careful pre-production and a real feel for place. Shot over four days with a talented cast and crew, the campaign showcased destinations like The Westin, Viv Hotel, Poppy and Seed restaurant, the Don Churros churro truck, and Strongwater bar, among other local gems that connect back to the city’s history and roots. From location scouting to final delivery, the Tiger House Films team worked in close collaboration with Rowe to ensure every spot felt cohesive, authentic, and true to Anaheim’s spirit.
This city tourism commercial highlights a core strength of Tiger House Films: the ability to capture the full breadth of what an entire city has to offer without losing the human, on-the-ground texture that makes a place feel real. The result is a campaign that feels playful and lived-in, not staged, a distinction that matters enormously when the goal is to get people to actually visit.
The Visit Anaheim “Made To Play” campaign represents a meaningful milestone for Tiger House Films and reflects the growing demand for city tourism commercial work that goes beyond postcard visuals. Destinations want real results, genuine storytelling, striking visuals, and content that makes an audience want to book a trip. That’s exactly what this collaboration with Visit Anaheim delivered.
This project is a prime example of how a city tourism commercial, when led by an experienced creative team and true collaborators on the client side, can capture the full personality of a place while elevating the creative output above the expected. The Visit Anaheim team were true partners every step of the way, making this one of the most rewarding city tourism productions we’ve had the pleasure of creating.
