California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz)

The film industry helped make California the force it is today – and no place in the world has more people working in motion picture production than our state, so no place is harder hit when it leaves. Today, we’re fighting for the entertainment industry that California helped build -- and we’re fighting for all its workers. Office of California Governor Gavin Newsom' proposed expansion of the California Film Commission's Film & Television Tax Credit Program to $750 million annually, up from $330 million, marks an unprecedented investment in California’s entertainment industry and positions our state as the leading location for film and television production.
