The Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive
Program was designed to help all filmmakers.
Through legislation specifically including feature
film, television, documentary and commercial
production, the incentive is a simple and direct
rebate program offering 20% to 30% back depending
on a production's local spend. There is no minimum
spend to encourage short films and commercials.
The rebate is capped at $5 million per project (a
local spend amounting to about $17.6 million.)
In addition to the rebate, there are tax
exemptions and reductions on a list of production
items and production equipment.
For more information about the Mississippi
Incentive Program, call the Mississippi Film
Office at 601.359.3297, or visit us online at
www.visitmississippi.org/film.
