The Riverside County Film Commission is excited to share today’s announcement from the California Film Commission on the latest round of awards through the expanded Film and Television Tax Credit Program 4.0. A total of 38 film projects have been approved, generating nearly $800 million in economic activity and bringing over 460 filming days outside the traditional 30 mile studio zone. This continued investment highlights California’s commitment to supporting productions that create good paying jobs and strengthen local businesses across the state.

With a significant portion of filming taking place beyond the studio zone, Riverside County remains an ideal destination for productions looking to maximize both incentives and location diversity. Just outside the zone, our region offers a wide range of film ready locations and strong local support to help bring projects to life.

Filmmakers are encouraged to explore how this program can support their next production while taking advantage of everything Riverside County has to offer.
