The film, television, and digital media industry is thriving in New Jersey. The state that launched the dawn of film at Thomas Edison’s West Orange lab has become a media powerhouse. The strength of New Jersey’s film sector is underscored by its attractive incentive programs, which include a 30% or 35% tax credit and an additional 2% or 4% diversity bonus. These incentives and more have attracted industry leaders like Lionsgate and Netflix to build major production facilities in New Jersey, joining the State’s 30 existing studios.
The diversity of New Jersey’s geography offers filmmakers urban skylines, serene shorelines, and lush greenery as backdrops. This variety sets the stage for stories of all genres. New Jersey’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity extends beyond its landscapes to its labor practices and community values, striving for a film industry that represents all facets of the human experience.
