Fall into savings at Cobalt Woodstock.
The leaves are turning. The air is crisp and we’re getting excited about pumpkin spice, apple cider donuts, and everything Halloween!
But we’re also VERY excited about ALL of the tax credits available to you and your project when you work with us at Hollywood on the Hudson.
And the best part? NONE of these savings are seasonal. Even if you’re not ready to shoot till winter, you’ll still get all the same advantages and benefits.
Scary good savings at Hollywood on the Hudson.
Shooting with us in Woodstock, you only need to spend $100,000 to start getting benefits. Pretty cool right? In the city, that figure rises to $500,000… We think that’s enough to raise the dead. 👻
Couldn’t get better, right? It does. Advantages Upstate are like the Halloween franchise (the movies) in that they keep coming and coming and coming and don’t stop lol (Honestly, did you know there are 13 Halloween movies?). The rebate percentage upstate is 50% greater than when you shoot in the city.
Not to mention that parking is ample and cheaper, day-to-day expenses are waaaaaay more affordable, and the Woodstock area just puts on a show in the fall. We’re not kidding, it’s stunning up here right now.
No tricks, all treats when you shoot in New York.
You already know why shooting in Woodstock is better than the city, and by now you’re probably waiting for us to reveal ALL of the benefits of shooting in New York (like how the villain reveal in Friday the 13th was that it’s actually Jason’s mother**)
The purpose behind the New York State Film Tax Credit Program is to increase film and post-production industry presence and to have a positive impact on the state’s economy.
The Program provides incentives to qualified production companies that produce:
- Feature films
- Television series
- Relocated television series
- Television pilots
- Television movies
- and/or incur post-production costs associated with the
- original creation of these film productions.
Film Production Credit applicants are eligible to receive a 30% of qualified production refundable, baseline credit of costs incurred in New York State. You’re eligible to receive an extra 10% off for production in Upstate NY. Upstate also offers an extra 5% on post!
Basically, shooting at Cobalt Woodstock is like finding a street where every house on the block leaves out a massive bowl of candy for trick or treaters of full-size candy. Not a single apple, penny, or toothbrush house to be found.
There’s so much more to this program we’d love to tell you about over a glass of mulled wine or a slice of pumpkin pie. Let’s talk about your projects soon!
**Apologies for the spoilers, but if you haven’t seen these films by now…….
