"SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

“ Yes, Florida has an incentives program ~ For all of the details, click here:  http://www.filminflorida.com/ifi/incentives.asp

AND for those of you “low budget indie” filmmakers, in particular please pay special attention to the “Florida Independent Film Incentive” which is part of the Don Davis Entertainment Industry Incentive!  This has attracted many film and television projects to Florida since its inception in 2003. The Florida Independent Film Incentive, a first year program that began in 2007, rebates up to 17% of Florida expenditures on projects between $100,000 and $625,000 that qualify. Information on all of Florida's Film Incentives can be found on the OFE's website at www.filminflorida.com. “
