Tennessee Entertainment Commission Production Projects

The Tennessee Entertainment Commission (TEC) promotes and facilitates economic development of the film and music community through the recruitment of business to Tennessee. In addition, TEC promotes Tennessee as a location, builds infrastructure and supports the growth of the state’s film and music community. The TEC Production Incentive offers a twenty-five percent (25%) grant on Qualified Tennessee Expenditures to production companies filming within Tennessee. In addition, TEC assists hundreds of other production projects across Tennessee each year. Projects that do not qualify for production incentives may still receive location, workforce, permitting, intergovernmental liaison services and other assistance from the state.

Key Performance Indicators:

• Assist up to 200 production projects that will create 1,890 jobs during the calendar year
• Generate $9 million in purchases of Tennessee goods and services, including expenditures related to the hiring of Tennesseans  during the calendar year
• Create 900 production days in Tennessee during the calendar year
