California Approves $108.6 Million in Tax Credits for Film and TV Projects

The initiative aims to boost local production, with ten projects expected to generate $509 million in state spending and create over 3,500 jobs.

The California Film Commission has awarded $108.6 million in tax credits to ten film and TV productions, including Apple TV+'s 'Bad Monkey' and 'Imperfect Women.'
'Bad Monkey,' relocating from Florida, and other approved projects are projected to spend $509 million in California, including $276 million in below-the-line wages.
The tax credits are expected to create 3,583 cast and crew jobs and support 28,404 background performers across 835 shooting days.
Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed increasing the state's annual tax credit cap from $330 million to $750 million to remain competitive with other regions.
California has introduced additional application windows to attract more productions as it faces competition from other states and countries with robust incentive programs.
