Under their new law, studios, major producers and filmmakers who either shoot at least half of their movie or spend at least half of their production budget in the Commonwealth are eligible for a tax credit equal to 25 percent of their total spending in Massachusetts, inclusive of any salaries over $1 million.
The New York Times recently called Boston
“the new Toronto of the film industry,” based on
their dramatically upgraded Film Tax Credit.
17 major productions have been shot in Massachusetts
in less than three years.
