New Wisconsin Film Office
New Wisconsin Film Office
As of January 1, 2026, the new Wisconsin Film Office will become part of the Wisconsin Department of Tourism. Filmmakers can look forward to a range of new incentives, including the following:
- $5 million annually for eligible projects starting in 2026
- A 25% tax credit on qualifying in-state expenditures
- Additional incentives, which may be announced this winter
Wisconsin was previously one of 13 states without any tax or production credits. This new development is an exciting step forward that will help attract more production and create new jobs across the Badger State.
