Where to live (besides California)to write, direct and/or make your own films?

My son's best friend is 16 years old and already know he wants to write screenplays for a living. He also knows that he HATES Hollywood and would never be comfortable with the people and lifestyle there (we are Midwesterners ,lol!).He says he doesn't need to "be famous", he just wants to write and possibly direct independent type movies. New York is a possibility of course but he is unsure even about that. I heard at one time that Florida was a good place to be but I can't remember WHY.

Maybe Chicago?

Anyone know where I can encourage him to go to pursue his dream?

Thanks!

    Vancouver. It's the third-largest film production centre in North America, after L.A. and New York City. It's nicknamed "North Hollywood," in fact.

    Miami is pretty good. They has a lot of agents there. :D

    Miami is popular because it's hot there, but Jacksonville is good too :D
