Are you an Indie Doc Filmmaker in need of more sources of funds? Tax Incentive programs are a largely untapped source of potential funding for documentary films as filmmakers believe documentary films are ineligible, or that the minimum spend to be eligible for incentive programs is way out of reach for their budget. Many states do offer lucrative tax incentive programs that can be applied to documentary projects at various budget ranges.
