Off-lot feature production in the Los Angeles area rose 11.5% during the second quarter compared to last year, thanks to the state’s incentive program.

Permitting agency FilmLA said Tuesday that on-location feature production totalled 1,542 days for the quarter — including 423 days that came from projects received the California Film and Television Tax Credit.

“The incentive program is performing exactly as it was designed to, leveling the playing field and keeping us competitive,” said Amy Lemisch, exec director of the California Film Commission. “This is great news for industry workers and the thousands of small businesses that support film and television production in California.”
