Fake Tents Mask Netflix Thriller Filming in SF
11 Jul
Summary
- San Francisco is hosting a Netflix thriller filming, using fake tents for its set.
- California expanded its tax credit program to $750 million annually.
- The state program has attracted 170 film projects since July of last year.
San Francisco recently hosted the filming of an untitled Netflix thriller, notable for its use of a realistic, yet fake, homeless encampment as a film set. This production serves as a visible example of renewed efforts by city and state officials to bring film and television projects back to California.
San Francisco enhanced its local film incentive program by covering 100% of qualifying city fees and offering rebates on production spending. Simultaneously, California expanded its statewide tax credit program, increasing annual funding to $750 million and broadening eligibility. This statewide initiative has already secured 170 projects since its launch last July, with 41 new projects joining recently.
These expanded incentives are designed to stimulate economic activity, creating numerous jobs and benefiting ancillary businesses, from hotels to caterers. The goal is to make California more competitive and to ensure the continued investment and growth of the film industry within the state and its communities.
