Abstract:
The state’s new film incentive package benefits low-budget films as much as it does Hollywood blockbuster films. The General Assembly set a low threshold for the film incentive so that the state could assist local, independent, and low budget filmmakers. This will cause more films to be produced in the state and may help keep students in the state who study at universities in North Carolina. Additionally, more jobs will be created and the industry will continue to grow.

While North Carolina’s film infrastructure is one of the best outside of California, film production companies are lured elsewhere because of better incentives. Unclear is how the 2016 House Bill 2 or “bathroom bill” has affected the state’s ability to attract films.
