Why Boston?

WorkMassachusetts Film Office (http://www.mafilm.org)

“In the old days in the pre tax credit days we would be killing ourselves to get them to shoot movies that were set in Massachusetts in Massachusetts, now we're getting movies that are set elsewhere being shot here because the incentives make it financially compelling.”

Film producers now get twenty-five cents in tax credits for every dollar they spend in Massachusetts.

A long-running series could create long-term job prospects and raise Boston's profile as an established production center. He evokes 'Boston Legal' and 'Spenser for Hire.' The tax credits apply to TV productions as well.
