The WV Film Tax credit was reinstated in 2022. The $50,000 threshold and 31% tax rebate makes West Virginia one of the most competitive states in the country for filming. The state has already seen over 80 inquiries and has several projects being filmed. Read more here.
Shine On, West Virginia is an online resource for arts in the mountain state with its cornerstone being a web series of 5-8 minute videos showcasing West Virginians working in the arts and entertainment industries. Our short documentaries tell their stories, share their work, and give advice to other West Virginians wanting to be in creative fields or hobbies. West Virginians are talented creatives, and maybe that’s because our state builds courage, community, resourcefulness, creativity, and self-starting in our individuals. Learn more here.
