  Apart from film incentives to bear in mind, nearly all states have guides or directories listing production services accessible to filmmakers interested in filming in their cities. However, you'll need to talk to the owners and get their permission before you begin. You may even need to get a permit. Don't forget, you are interrupting their business so make sure you are over polite in the process okay? Nobody wants a snobby filmmaker around.
  
  Georgia film tax credits of 20% are transferrable with a possible additional 10% if a state promo logo is included in the completed production. Minimum spend is $500,000. Michigan grabbed the tax-break spotlight with its pumped-up package of a refundable, assignable credit that runs from 30% to a monstrous 42% of a production's eligible expenses. And the necessary minimum in-state spend is only $50,000. North Carolina not too long ago upped its incentive to the level of a 25% tax credit on a minimum $250,000 in-state spend.
  
  In the remaining days of the legislative session, the market is seeking a 5-year extension of film tax credits by state for producing films and television shows in California. It has assembled a strong group of moguls and unions, who argue that failing to re-up the program risks losing movie work opportunities to states offering a lot more ample rebates. That's something, advocates claim, that the state with the second-highest unemployment rate in the nation doesn't want.
  
  Developers are working to make the groundwork for the industry here, such as the construction of studios and editing establishments. Educational institutions have become up to speed on the education and learning required for careers in film, movie and video game creation. And film makers are slowly getting more comfortable making use of local talent. They are, by all accounts, tremendously pleased with the locations and the work mentality here and, of course, the tax credit. There are numerous stories of organizations that got a quick shot in the arm from having a movie company about -- a cafe that has been renovated and repainted for a scene, a secondhand shop that had its best sales day ever when the costume people came in to shop, a neighborhood bistro that got an increase from a celeb on karaoke night.
  
  Qualified citizens are permitted a credit against income and/or sales and employ taxes, based on capable expenditures, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Credits applied to income tax liability aren't refundable. Only tax credits given to an "independent film" could be transferred or sold to an unrelated party. Other qualified taxpayers may continue tax breaks for 5 years and move tax credits to an associate.
  
  Industry supporters say the state needs the film tax credits by state to compete with other states offering related or higher regulations and tax breaks to movie and TV producers. Meanwhile, numbers released today by FilmLA show that movie production is the engine driving production gains in on-location shoots in L.A. All of this, on the other hand, most likely doesn't suggest states are ready to chuck those Film tax credits by state.
