Fun read.
Indie spirit alive and well at A24.

Lots of useful information at a glance, at end of article. "…NEW YORK Annual cap: $420 million Incentive: 25% to 35% Minimum: $1 million The state’s film and TV tax incentive program offers a 25 percent credit for qualified production (for shows like Gossip Girl and movies like John Wick 4) and postproduction costs incurred in-state, with additional credits of up to 10 percent on labor costs in dozens of counties. Like in California, the program is more stringent than some other states because it excludes pay for actors…"

Lots of useful information for producing independent productions

"...the Producers Guild of America released a new 57-page document that seeks to make things easier. “COVID Safety Protocols for Producing Independent Productions” is meant to compliment — and in many cases offer more specificity than — earlier industry guidelines, including the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers’ white paper and the guilds’ “The Safe Way Forward...”

Earlier guidelines set the bar for returning to set, but a new document from the PGA offers great specificity of how exactly producers can pull it off.
