Seoul Film Commission runs two incentive programs for foreign and internationally co-produced Korean projects to be shot or with plans to shoot in Seoul, as a part of promoting the city of Seoul internationally and boosting the local film industry.

1. Production Cost Support

With the goal of improving the city's image as well as supporting the local film industry, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will provide selected producers with reimbursements in the amount of up to 25% of the production costs for internationally co-produced films and foreign films shot in Seoul. The cap for each project is KRW 100,000,000 (approx. US$ 91,000) but for projects with an extraordinarily high marketing value, the cap can be lifted. The reimbursement program is conducted by Seoul Film Commission. Funds do not need to be paid back to Seoul Film Commission. Producers of all nationalities may apply for the reimbursement.

2. Location Scouting Support

In order to encourage location shooting of foreign visual contents in Seoul, the City provides the cost of location scouting to selected foreign producers and principle staff. This program is administered by the Seoul Film Commission. Any foreign director, assistant director, producer, director of photography, production designer, or location manager is eligible to apply. The support includes round-trip airline tickets for two people, accommodations support, a domestic location coordinator and a rental car.
