As we begin the first full year of California's Film & Television Tax Credit Program 2.0, a total amount of $330 million dollars in tax credits will be allocated. Last years' incentive program was a mixture of the old $100 million program with an added $230 million in funding from the 2.0 program. The $100 million program limited what productions could apply for a tax credit. The full 2.0 program is far more diverse and expected to draw a much more varied and lucrative production selection to the state.
