Unfortunately the Alaska legislature has suspended the Alaska Film Credit program until an undetermined date. This creates an increased necessity for attention to the details that assure that you meet your budgets and timelines, assuring the most cost efficient shoot possible. We are here to help you accomplish this. Never has it been more important to know who you are working with and to have confidence that the production logistics and details that you employ are the best, safest and most economically feasible options possible.

Eligible projects are broadly defined as film, documentary, commercial, and video productions. A minimum of $75,000 of qualified expenditures in Alaska is required. Unlike some incentives, Alaska does not have a salary or project cap.
