Film Incentives Update

As you know, Colorado has a rich filmmaking history and, although the past decade has been extremely quiet, thanks to a new incentives program, we’re now back in the moviemaking business. In fact, three feature films have already committed to shooting here over the next 12 months.

With these films, all funds available in the incentives program have been used up in only seven months. This is very good news, as it means that lawmakers will be encouraged to add more funds into the program next year, since it has been proven to be a resounding success.

It’s important to note the incentives aren’t just about bringing Hollywood to our state, they’re also about putting Colorado residents and our members to work.

During the recent Denver Film Society Oscar® Experience/Denver GlitzGlamGive event, industry partner CFVA sponsored a union table to recognize some of the industry professionals who live and work in Colorado and are ready to support these films. During the night’s festivities, the Denver Film Society gave a special shout-out to these individuals.

SAG-AFTRA Local President Chaz Grundy joined members from the Director's Guild of America, Location Managers Guild of America, Teamsters, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the International Cinematographers Guild at the CFVA table.
