The California Film Commission (CFC) was founded in 1985 by then California Governor George Deukmejian[1] to act in an economic development capacity for the state.[2] It is a part of the California Trade and Commerce Agency,[3] formerly the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency. Its purpose is to enhance California's position as the location of choice for motion picture, television and commercial production.[4]

The board is made up of 26 members, appointed by the governor, the Senate Committee on Rules, and the Speaker of the Assembly, as well as ex officio membership.[5] The commission has two programs: Film California First and Star Program. The former, founded in 2000 by then Governor Gray Davis,[6] refunds location costs to filmmakers for certain locations and expenses. The later offers certain state owned properties for free to filmmakers.[7] There are over 50 local film commissions known as FLICS (Film Locations in California, Statewide) associated with CFC that provide local support for filmmakers and facilitate with the permit process.[8]

The current director of the California Film Commission is Colleen Bell.[9] Previous directors included Amy Lemisch, Lisa Rawlins,[10] and Karen Constine.[11]

The California Film Commission administers the Film & Television Tax Credit Program which provides tax credits based on qualified expenditures for eligible productions that are produced in California. 3.0 is the most recent iteration of the tax credit program. [12]
