Film SF | San Francisco Film Commission champions filming in San Francisco to support a diversity of storytellers and our thriving production community. Our vision is a city that embraces and invests in storytellers and entices productions to call San Francisco their home. Dreams used Film SF’s Scene in San Francisco incentive program, and starting mid-March, the incentive program will be updated to a $1M incentive that includes 10% back on the first $1M spent on local expenditure and labor (20% back on anything spent over that) and a 100% rebate on city expenses. This will be stackable with California’s Film & Television Tax Credit Program. Read more about San Francisco’s incentive program updates here.
