After it revamped its tax credit program in 2015 to include additional incentives, the state has seen a rise in filming outside Los Angeles: 'This is a boom time'
and a lot of other films that may have been lured away before the expansion of the state program," says Orange County film commissioner and California on Location Awards co-chair Janice Arrington. "All of us around the state, whether we're film commission or crew or production executives, feel like this is a boom time for us."
A total of 27 projects that filmed outside the L.A. zone employed 71 actors, 4,085 crew and 27,037 extras. Those shows and films put plenty of money into local communities, too. For instance,Captain Marvel, which is set in the Bay Area, filmed its entire series in Northern California across a handful of counties. More than 7,000 local actors, crew and background hires from those counties earned about $19 million in total wages.
