Over the Last 6 Years the Montana Film Industry has Generated:

• $53 million in production related spending, resulting in an $81.4 million impact on Montana's economy

• 930 full time equivalent jobs in the film industry and 444 jobs indirectly

• $4.3 million of tax revenue for Montana
  

To keep these positive film industry impacts  in Montana, the Montana Legislature recently passed the Big Sky on the Big Screen Act.  The Act provides a 12% incentive based on labor hired in Montana and an 8% incentive for qualified expenditures.
