Cincinnati Ranked No. 11 Best Place for Moviemakers for Seventh Year

Ohio's motion picture tax credit to nearly double, boosting the city's appeal to the film industry.

Cincinnati has been named the No. 11 'Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker' by MovieMaker magazine for the seventh consecutive year.
The city's low cost of living, Ohio's 30% motion picture tax credit, and its architecture that allows it to pose as other cities were highlighted as reasons for its ranking.
An economic impact study showed Cincinnati’s local film industry created nearly 1,900 jobs and brought in $258 million between 2019 and 2022.
Ohio's motion picture tax credit will nearly double starting in July, increasing from $40 million to $75 million.
Film Cincinnati supported 26 projects in 2023, including 'Alto Knights' starring Robert De Niro, and 'Control Freaks', a horror film set to be filmed in Covington in February.
