Why this matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This diverse slate of feature films\u00a0\u2014 ranging from major studio productions to independent film\u00a0\u2014 is expected to generate $664 million in total spending throughout the state, including $485 in qualified expenditures and more than $302 million in wages for California workers.<\/p>\n

These projects, which include 43 independent films, are collectively expected to hire 6,515 cast and crew members, as well 32,000 background performers (measured in days worked), across 1,346 total California filming days.<\/p>\n

More than half of the films will be shot in the Los Angeles area, helping to sustain the birthplace of this iconic industry and supporting the community as it recovers from recent wildfires. Enabling the industry\u2019s reach throughout the state, 22 of the selected projects will conduct significant filming outside the Los Angeles area, contributing 329 out-of-zone filming days and substantial economic benefits in Ventura County (Make A Wish, The Teller, Things We Cannot Touch), San Francisco and the Bay Area (High Priestess of Souls, Our Kind of Cruelty), El Dorado and Placer Counties (Gold Mountain), San Bernardino and Riverside Counties (Superbloom, The Heidi Fleiss Story), Bakersfield in Kern County (Counting by 7s) and coastal communities such as Half Moon Bay and Costa Mesa (Sponsor, Doll).<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s slate of awards marks the ninth allocation in this fiscal year and reinforces California\u2019s continued leadership as a global production hub, even as other states and countries pursue projects with their own incentive offerings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis industry is core to California\u2019s creative economy and keeping production here at home is more important than ever,\u201d\u00a0said Colleen Bell, Director of the California Film Commission.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThis round of tax credits shows our commitment to supporting both indie and studio productions while spreading the economic benefits of filming across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
