Colorado Film, TV and Media Metrics

  • The Film Office has paid $17.1 M in incentives to 72 projects from FY2013-FY2019, 44 projects received under $100,000

  • These 72 projects generated $116.6M in production activity

  • After taxes are collected the return on taxpayer investment is 37:1,  $116.6M in production spend versus $3.1M in net expense

  • The Office has negotiated incentives below the maximum 20% rate, an effective rate of 15% in 2013-19

  • Feature Films/Docs and TV series only represent about 2/3 of incentivized projects; videogames and one-off programs account for the remainder

  • From 2012-2016, Colorado's film production-related employment increased by 43% (865 new jobs), which is more than double the total US growth rate (19%)

Colorado's film industry still receives a much lower incentive than other states in the region.
