Film Incentives

Louisiana Production Incentive 

Louisiana offers a 30% transferable incentive for total in-state expenditures related to the production of a motion picture.  An additional 5% labor incentive can be earned on the payroll of Louisiana residents that are employed by a state certified motion picture production. The incentives are fully transferable and Louisiana has no limit to the amount of incentives that can be earned by a single production.  Only money spent on your production costs within the borders of the state of Louisiana will qualify for the 30% incentive.  That includes all services that are performed in Louisiana from residents and non-residents alike.  Now, you have the option to transfer credits (incentives) to the state for .85 on the dollar, and we will send you a check immediately.
