California Lawmakers Move to Hike Film Credit to 35% for L.A. Shoots, Include Animation and Sitcoms
California lawmakers want to expand the state film incentive to 35% for L.A. productions, while expanding eligibility to animated shows and sitcoms.
California’s two largest competitors — Georgia and New York — offer 30% rebates, and include among eligible costs the “above the line” salaries of actors, directors, producers and writers. Lawmakers introduced an amended version of SB 630 on Tuesday, which would increase the rebate to 35% for wages and other expenses incurred within the Los Angeles zone. The zone includes anything within a 30-mile radius of Beverly and La Cienega boulevards (the historic home of the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers), as well as certain other locations like Castaic, Pomona and the Ontario airport.
