New Qualifiers for GEORGIA’s Film Tax Credit Uplift

By: Georgia Screen Entertainment Coalition online post

In December 2024, the Georgia Film Office updated its Alternative Marketing Options (AMO) menu, offering exciting new opportunities for productions to qualify for the 10% film tax credit uplift. 

In lieu of including the official Georgia promotional logo, productions may choose from several new alternatives, including:

  • Filming in rural areas
  • Offering internships with Georgia Film Academy students
  • Featuring Georgia’s tourism assets and local communities through social media

The AMO program delivers significant value to Georgia by harnessing the film industry’s broad reach to spotlight the state’s tourism assets and rural communities; offer workforce development opportunities; and spread economic impact to locally owned small businesses in rural counties. 

These alternatives are in addition to existing ways to qualify such as featuring a product created by a small Georgia-based business or promoting Georgia’s film industry.

For a full list of qualifying AMO options, view the “Alternative Marketing Opportunities for Live Action, Animated or Esports for Georgia Entertainment Promotion (GEP) Uplift Tax Credit” menu here.
