Minnesota Has the Talent.
Let's Fix the Math.
We have the crews. We have the locations. We have the talent. So why does so much production work go elsewhere?
Because the math doesn't add up.
Minnesota's current 25% film production tax credit and $1 million minimum spending requirement make it difficult to compete for productions that could be putting Minnesotans to work right now.
The Minnesota Film Alliance is fighting to change that. We're advocating for a more competitive incentive, lower spending requirements, and additional benefits for productions that hire and train Minnesotans.
These are changes to how our existing incentive program works, not a request for a bigger budget.
More productions. More jobs. More money flowing through Minnesota businesses. And more opportunities to tell our own stories.
Here's Where You Come In:
We have a real opportunity to strengthen Minnesota's production industry, but we need to speak with one voice.
