Florida videographer market, how saturated is it actually and is there room for someone relocating from the Pacific Northwest

Question

I've been doing commercial video work in the Pacific Northwest for about four years now, mostly regional brands, some tech companies, a few brewery and hospitality clients, and I'm seriously considering relocating to Florida, probably the Tampa or Orlando area, partly for personal reasons and partly because I've heard the production market there is busier than people outside it realize.

Is that true? Is there actually a healthy market for freelance commercial videographers in central and south Florida, or is it dominated by large production companies with their own crew networks to the point where independent operators can't really get a foothold?

I've been doing some research and came across beverly boy productions as one of the bigger full-service companies operating in the Florida market, which at least tells me there are established players there, but I'm not sure if that means more opportunity to plug into or more competition to navigate.

Any perspective from people who are actually working in that market would be really helpful before I make a decision this large.
