Sundance Move Ignites Colorado Film Growth

Colorado has appointed Lauren Grimshaw Sloan as its new Film Commissioner, a move strategically timed with the Sundance Film Festival's relocation from Utah to Boulder starting next year. Sloan, a seasoned film industry veteran, expressed enthusiasm for building lasting infrastructure and expanding opportunities for creators and crews across the state. Her appointment is seen as a significant step in strengthening Colorado's position as a premier destination for visual storytelling. The state actively supports film production with a 20% refundable tax credit, applicable to features, series, documentaries, and even video game design. An additional 2% incentive is available for projects filmed within designated Enterprise Zones. This initiative aims to capitalize on the growing momentum, particularly with the impending arrival of the renowned Sundance Film Festival, marking a new era for Colorado's media landscape.
