The Governor's Motion Picture Opportunity Fund provides a grant or rebate to qualified projects. A separate tax credit fund provides refundable tax credits for qualified production.
Additional state incentives include an exemption from state sales tax, as well as an exemption from hotel taxes for stays of 30 days or more in some localities. In most cases, state-owned locations (including an historic backlot) are provided free of charge. The Film Office assists in negotiating other free or low cost locations that have historically resulted in significant savings to productions shooting in the state.
