Thanks to GHJ Entertainment Practice Leader Ilan Haimoff for inviting Edwards Creative Law’s managing partner and entertainment lawyer Mark E. to the podcast “Production Tax Credits Around the World” last week! Mark was happy to talk about key financial considerations and how tax incentives and economic conditions have shaped the film and television production ecosystem with other professionals in the industry. Film and television production in 2024 extends far beyond Hollywood — many productions now take place in Atlanta, Toronto and Vancouver in North America and across the U.K. This shift has largely been driven by the availability of tax incentives.
