The SF Film Commission works with the local film community to support local projects. Join us for the opportunity to make a great connection and find out ways to get support for your project.

Hear about the Filming Scene in San Francisco, especially the $600K tax incentive program for productions shooting in San Francisco.

Topics include:

• San Francisco as a filming destination

• Tax incentive programs for filming in San Francisco

• The Film Space Grant that supports local projects

• Opportunities for film training and economic opportunities through community engagement

• Obtaining production permits for your San Francisco shoot

• And more!

The San Francisco Film Commission works to develop, recognize and promote film activities in San Francisco. It works to promote the San Francisco Bay Area as a film destination while also working with the local film community to support local projects with significant ties to San Francisco.

As in previous Conversations & Connections events, members will have the opportunity to attend smaller group discussions, and will be able to drop in and out of Zoom rooms at will. Hang out in our WIFchat virtual lounge and/or join our mini-forum breakout sessions.
