On January 27, Governor Deval Patrick suggested to the legislature that the qualified spending on film & TV production in Massachusetts be temporarily capped in response to the state budget crisis. The proposed cap would be $50 million in tax credits per year for the next two years. This equates to $200 million of qualified production spend per year. If enacted, all above-the-line spending would still qualify without limitation, and the proposed temporary cap would automatically expire in 2012, returning the incentive program to its current “no cap” status. Stay tuned, if you remember last year Massachusetts implemented a salary cap only to immediately remove it.
Governor Patrick released his fiscal year 2011 supplemental budget. For more information visit,

Immediately following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), a proprietary department of the City of Los Angeles, restricted filming at LADWP properties to ensure there was no threat to the public’s health.
Since that initial halt to filming, security protocols have been put in place, and individual LADWP properties have reopened one at a time to filming. Most LADWP properties are now available resources for filming, though the notion that they are closed still lingers in the minds of some filmmakers.
The John Ferraro Building, LADWP’s Headquarters, is open for filming. Located at 111 N. Hope Street, the iconic building recently hosted a major feature film called Inception but has been a popular location for films, television shows and commercials since it was built in the 1960s. Its uniqueness is aided by the outdoor pools, fountains and solar panels over parking spaces.
For more information about filming at LADWP properties, contact FilmL.A.’s Production Planning Team at 213.977.8600.
