Wyoming Film/Arts Update:

Wyoming Short Film Contest
It's over for this year, but the films are still up for viewing. For more information and to watch past winners, visit our blog at www.filmwyoming.blogspot.com. See you in 2010!

The Film Industry Financial Incentive (FIFI) program provides a cash rebate for production companies of up to 15 percent on dollars spent in the State of Wyoming. The production company must spend a minimum amount to qualify and then meet additional criteria to determine the rebate percentage between 12% - 15%.
Qualified expenditures generally include, but are not limited to:

• Wages, salaries, or other compensation for technical and production crews, directors, producers, performers and extras who are residents of this state.
• Expenditures on goods and services in Wyoming for preproduction, production, post-production, digital media effects services, rental equipment, meals, lodging, sets, and set construction.

Rebate percentage between 12% and 15% based on the following criteria:

• Wyoming storyline (full 15% rebate)
• Behind the scenes footage highlighting Wyoming locations (up to 14% rebate)
• Wyoming props and product placement (up to 13% rebate)
• Filmed in Wyoming credit (minimum 12% rebate)
• Other promotional opportunities that provide Wyoming tourism value could be negotiated to determine rebate percentage.

Call for Locations
The Wyoming Film Office is calling for photos of potential filming locations throughout the state. We're updating our film office web site at www.filmwyoming.com with hundreds of new images and we need your help. We're looking for any interesting locations that could be used by a production company for feature films, television specials and commercials. We need to have contact information for each location. For example, if the location is privately owned we need the owners contact information including address, directions, phone number, etc. If the location is on public land, we need to know which agency to contact for permitting, i.e. BLM, Forest Service, State Lands, etc.
Please send ALL location images, prints or digital, to Colin Stricklin at info@filmwyoming.com or mail them to:
