Background
In July 2006, Connecticut’s film and digital media tax credit incentive program took effect, launching one of the most competitive efforts to build a permanent new industry by luring film, television, commercial, digital media and video game productions to the state.
In Connecticut, production companies earn a transferable tax credit on 30% of total eligible pre-production, production and post-production expenses if they spend more than $50,000. Also important is the 20% infrastructure tax credit to motivate the construction of facilities to support the industry. In just its first two years, production went from $700,000 to half a billion.
The Coalition came together to lend a voice in strong support of the industry and the state’s tax credit program. As organizations and people coming into direct contact with this sector, we are seeing first-hand clear and positive evidence that the state’s incentive program is working in communities throughout Connecticut.
The Coalition’s purpose is simple: to create a strong, robust and sustainable film, television and digital media industry in Connecticut. To realize this vision, the Coalition’s mission is to come together on a non-partisan basis to support and promote the value of this industry in Connecticut to markets worldwide; state lawmakers; the media; and other related industries.
