Missouri movie film credit change moves closer to governor’s desk

Missouri lawmakers are considering changes to the state’s film tax credits to attract larger projects. A bill in the state legislature would combine two separate funding pools into a $16 million allocation for the 50% tax credit. Industry professionals believe this change would bring bigger projects to Missouri and create new jobs. Some argue that the current system puts the state at a competitive disadvantage and that the $16 million pool may not be enough to attract major TV shows like Ozark and DTF St. Louis.
