This is the largest event exclusively held to promote filming in California.
SESSIONS INCLUDE:
CALIFORNIA: THE GOLD STANDARD
Learn from a distinguished panel of producers and other industry decision makers why California is their first choice when it comes to film and TV production. With implementation of the state’s newly expanded film & TV tax credit program, discover how the best just got better.
BLEEDING EDGE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY: GET UP TO SPEED ON THE LATEST TOOLS OF THE TRADE
Learn from top experts in the field how to make the most of the latest production technology.
ELEVATE YOUR PRODUCTION WITH DRONES
Hear from a panel of UAS experts, watch footage and see a production drone up close to understand why they’re in such demand. Learn about FAA regulations governing the use of drones for commercial filming and what everyone should know about the capabilities and safe operation of our industry’s favorite new toy.
CALIFORNIA’S NEW INCENTIVE PROGRAM: A TAX CREDIT CLINIC
Thanks to the thousands of industry professionals who fought for the passage of AB 1839, California’s Film & TV Tax Credit Program was increased from $100 million a year to $330 million. Learn how this entirely new program works, how and when to apply, how to get a 5% “uplift” and other program basics from the experts – CFC Executive Director Amy Lemisch and Program Director Nancy Rae Stone.
WITH 41 FILM COMMISSIONS, NEARLY 100 EXHIBITORS, AND $330 MILLION FILM & TV TAX INCENTIVES, YOU CAN’T MISS THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OF THE YEAR!
Attendees will learn about the state’s newly expanded $330 million tax credit program, sit in on our premiere producers panel as well as sessions on Technology and Drones, listen to special guest speakers Joe Mantegna, Jon Huertas (and others) and enjoy a lively trade show and wine-tasting reception.
What started eight years ago as a California-only locations trade show and wine-tasting reception to promote filming in California has evolved into a full-blown conference and go-to event for those seeking to make the most of California’s production resources. It’s hosted by the California Film Commission (CFC) and Film Liaisons in California Statewide (FLICS), a network of 40+ film commissioners from across the state.
Over 500 people attended last year, and they included professionals from all facets of industry – individuals who work on features, TV, digital content and commercials as well as representatives from studios, production companies, unions and guilds, trade organizations and industry-related businesses.
After thousands fought, lobbied, wrote letters, rallied and signed petitions in favor of the legislation that more than tripled our state’s tax credit program, there’s more excitement than ever about supporting a conference that champions filming in California.
