Local Content Film Tax Credit Week: Experience the Ecosystem

Held Annually During the Third Week of July
2027: July 13–16 | Participating Global Markets + Year-Round Virtual Marketplace

Film and television productions can bring significant investment into a market. But attracting production is only the beginning. The bigger question is: How much of that economic activity benefits the people, businesses, and communities where production takes place?

Local Content Film Tax Credit Week brings together film commissions, government, productions, studios, investors, suppliers, workforce organizations, technology companies, and industry leaders to explore that opportunity.

What Is Local Content?

Local content is an economic development term describing how much of the value created by a project or investment benefits the market where it takes place.

That includes local workers hired, businesses contracted, products and services purchased, facilities developed, and investment retained locally.

Film tax credits help attract production. Local content focuses on what happens after production arrives.

Film Incentives → Productions → Local Investment → Local Jobs → Local Business → Economic Growth

A Week Powered by Local Markets

Partners are encouraged to host their own virtual and in-person events and experiences highlighting the impact of film production in their markets.

Host a studio tour, supplier event, workforce program, roundtable, reception, or economic impact conversation.

The goal is to recognize film production as an important form of local economic development, while creating clearer pathways for people and businesses to participate.
