Ohio Spends Big to Boost Local Film | Cleveland News

Ohio just dumped $3.7 million in film tax credits, fueling four major productions—three right here in Northeast Ohio—with a 30% local spending break. “Crawler” leads the pack with over $2 million, while “Bonedriven” (Burton), “Joker’s Over Aces” (Lakewood), and “Jonah” (Cincinnati) each get their slice. The boost? Around 65 new jobs and nearly $9.7M injected into the local economy—with $7.3M alone going to payroll. Since 2009, Ohio’s Motion Picture Tax Credit Program has poured $50M annually into film and TV, plus $5M for Broadway shows, proving the state’s serious commitment to building a thriving cinematic ecosystem right in our backyard.
