Screen Industry
Incentive Programs
Overview
To assist in the attraction of film and television productions, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) adopted Resolution No. 2021-518, creating a Film Commission and establishing film, television, and entertainment production project incentive programs (“Incentive Programs”) to provide funding to film, television, and entertainment production companies that bring their activities to Broward County and/or the South Florida region.
The County has Incentive Programs which are performance-based rebate programs and are based on Broward County-centric criteria. Each project’s eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis. After an incentive application is approved and an agreement is signed, the incentive will be distributed as a rebate after the production (performance-based) provides proof of their local spend, hires, etc., through paperwork from a Production accountant that meets the criteria stated in the incentive agreement and/or incentive guidelines. NOTE: An applicant may only apply to one of the incentive programs for each individual project.
Additionally, to support Broward residents, the County has created a pilot program for Emerging Filmmakers. This grant program seeks to provide a funding resource to Broward County-based filmmakers to produce individual projects, with eligibility based on a set of Broward County-centric criteria. The Emerging Filmmakers Grant Program will require a certain amount of matching funds, and proof that those funds exist must be submitted with the initial application submission. After the application is approved and an agreement is signed, the grant will be distributed to an approved applicant (subject to appropriation each fiscal year) in four quarterly payments after meeting all required criteria in each phase of pre-production, production, post-production, and completed project. The applicant must be a practicing professional Broward County resident who in the past three years has created a body of original content.
