Independent movies make up the bulk of projects selected to receive tax credits, reflecting major productions increasingly opting to shoot in other regions with more generous incentive programs.

The projects are expected to generate almost $580 million in economic activity and employ more than 6,000 people, according to the California Film Commission.

The “Community” movie, Warner Bros. Picture’s “Cut Off” and an untitled flick from the Daniels are among the 51 films receiving 2025 production tax incentives through California’s Film and Television Tax Credit Program.
