A law signed today by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to expand New York state’s film tax credit includes an extra credit for Upstate post-production work.
The law boosts an existing qualified film and television post-production tax credit from 10 percent. It increases the credit to 30 percent in the New York City metropolitan commuter region and 35 percent in the state’s other areas.
