More Than Production

The Local Content Film Tax Credit List is designed to show the full economic value chain created by film and television investment.

Film tax credits do more than help finance productions. They can help attract investment that creates demand across banking, construction, technology, legal services, accounting, production equipment, workforce development, hotels, restaurants and local suppliers.

A production does not only hire actors and crew. It can create opportunities for local workers, small businesses, contractors, financial institutions, technology companies, professional service firms and hospitality businesses.

By identifying and recognizing leaders across these 13 categories, LocalContent.com aims to help markets answer a larger question:

Who is turning film incentives into measurable investment, jobs, contracts and long term economic growth?
