To the extent that base investment is spent on payroll for Louisiana residents in conncetion with a state certified production, each investor shall be allowed an additional ten percent of such payroll.

it should be noted that if the payroll of any one person exceeds one-million dollars, this additional credit shall exclude any salary for that person.

 The Louisiana Motion Picture Incentive Program was created in order to acheive three basic goals:

• To encourage film and video production in Louisiana
• To advocate the hiring of Louisiana technical crew and talent
• To support and encourage the use of Louisiana equipment and services related to film and video production  

Shreveport welcomes the film and media industry to our city!  Shreveport and Northwest Louisiana are the perfect place for your next production. You’ll find a little of everything here, from swamps and cypress trees to antebellum plantations to a modern skyline with casinos and high-rise office buildings. Our people are friendly and always eager to help. Our great weather and excellent locations makes filming possible year-round without any interruptions.
 

We all recognize that keeping the film and media productions in Shreveport and the community is very important to the local and state’s economy. Our city departments are dedicated and on standby to give your production team every possible assistance to make your project a success!
 

We have collected a number of potential locations and posted them here on our website. These properties represent a whole range of possible locations to include our beautiful parks and rivers, homes that are pre-approved for filming, downtown buildings, and dilapidated warehouses. We offer free filming in our city owned buildings with just a few exclusions.
 

For more information about locations, permitting, and any assistance with your project, please contact Arlena Acree , Director of Film, Media, and Entertainment at (318) 673-7515.
Thanks again for considering Shreveport!!
