Why New Jersey
The Smartest Place on the East Coast to Roll Camera
New Jersey offers one of the strongest, most usable film incentive programs in the United States — a transferable tax credit of 30–35% on qualified production expenses, with stackable bonuses that can bring your total to 39% or more.
Add a 6.625% sales tax exemption on production purchases, hotel tax exemptions for long stays, no permit fee in most jurisdictions, and locations that double for nearly anywhere in America — all within an hour of New York City and Philadelphia.
Lion Motion is your on-the-ground partner to capture all of it.
