I do pretty well currently as a freelance advertising creative, but I’ve always wanted to have a career in film. I have a bachelors degree in film (if that even helps) but where I live there are not many opportunities, and the ones that pop up pay pennies.
Do I have to move to have a film production career? And if so, where to?

If you want a film career and live where there isn't any film industry, then yes, you have to move. Which, from your question, I suspect you already know.
Often when people ask this question, the choice they're really having a hard time with is: "Do I want a film career enough to move?" Certainly the pressure from family and friends, plus human beings' natural tendency toward inertia all push you to stay put. "Move or no move" is a question only you can answer, but let me give you some thoughts that may help you fight the prevailing winds.
