SCAM ALERT: Attention Local Crew Members A short film job opportunity offering a rate of $1,800 (a drastically higher than standard rate) has been emailed to members of the Ohio film community. It is our estimation that this is a FALSE project that is intended to be a phishing scheme. If you are promised a higher-than-normal rate and/or are asked to secure locations or equipment with a blank check, this is not a normal request. If you receive this type of email, please let us know or ignore it. Thank you!

The Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) is proud of its success in attracting 6 new productions to choose Northeast Ohio in the most recent Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit application round. In combination with recent application rounds, GCFC has booked 17 productions with total combined budgets of $208,002,972 to choose to film in Northeast Ohio in 2024, including the recently wrapped high-profile Warner Bros. and Disney movies. As a result of the GCFC’s advocacy and attraction efforts, those two productions directly spent a combined $77,572,289 in Northeast Ohio in 2024, hired hundreds of crew, engaged with hundreds of local businesses, and booked 30,966 hotel room nights (over $4.5 million spent). This is new investment flowing into Ohio, spending at Ohio vendors, and creating jobs in Ohio. GCFC lays the groundwork for months, if not years, in advance of filming, directly leading to new production investment and jobs.

Superman has captivated Cleveland for the last month, generating economic development and global recognition. We have many features that make our region attractive from the variety of settings to the costs and ease of doing business to a diverse and talented workforce. But the Ohio Film Tax Credit is what attracts film and stage productions here. To create an even stronger industry in the region, our credits need to be competitive with leading states which will spur more productions and more development.
