Colorado Film Production 10% Cash Rebate Incentive

The Colorado Film Incentive program, established by the state legislature in 2006, is a performance based incentive plan that may rebate up to 10% of the cost of producing a film, documentary or television program when that project is produced and filmed in Colorado. To qualify, a production must spend at least 75 percent of total below-the-line expenditures and 75 percent of total payroll in Colorado. Out-of-state production companies must spend a total of at least $1 million, and Colorado-based companies must spend at least $100,000. A pre-application must be approved before beginning production. The 10% incentive is paid upon completion and verification of the qualifying expenditures. Film Production Incentive Funds are administered by the Colorado Economic Development Commission and are subject to availability of funds. Contact the Colorado Film Commission for more information: info@coloradofilm.org or 1(800) SCOUT US / (303) 592-4065.
