The Ultimate Destination for Film, TV, & Digital Media

New Jersey, the birthplace of modern film, has evolved into a media powerhouse. With generous tax incentives, diverse landscapes, and a rich talent pool, our State offers the perfect setting for productions of all genres.

State Support

The strength of New Jersey’s film sector is underscored by its attractive incentive programs, which include a 30% or 35% tax credit for qualified production expenses and an additional 2% or 4% diversity bonus. These incentives and more have attracted industry leaders like Lionsgate and Netflix to build major production facilities in New Jersey, joining the State’s 70 existing production stages.

Diverse Landscapes and Workforce

The diversity of New Jersey’s geography offers filmmakers urban skylines, serene shorelines, and lush greenery as backdrops. The State’s various landscapes have imitated the likes of Washington, D.C., 1950s New York, small midwestern towns, and more. New Jersey’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity extends beyond its landscapes to its labor practices and community values, striving for a film industry that represents all facets of the human experience.
