The growth of domestic film production incentives has exploded during the past few years as jurisdictions are seemly competing with each other to attract production. The question of which jurisdictions offer the best incentives and how to access these incentives is the primary focus of the seminar. We shall also be covering production incentives offered abroad and how these can be combined in co-productions.
