San Diego County Approves $1.5 Million Film Production Rebate Program
What happened
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to move forward with the San Diego County Film Initiative. This initiative will create a $1.5 million annual production rebate program and establish a non-profit regional film office. The new office will promote the region, administer the rebate, and serve as a single point of contact for productions.
