Filming in Colorado is unforgettable. That's why several notable productions have used Colorado's new 20% rebate program, including The Hateful Eight, Furious 7, Cop Car, Being Evel, & Universal Sports Network.
To be eligible for incentives, a Colorado production company must have qualified local expenditures of at least $100,000. An out-of-state production company must have at least $1 million in qualified local expenditures (the exception being television commercials and video game productions, which must have qualified local expenditures of $250,000).
Productions must hire a workforce (cast & crew) comprised of at least 50% Colorado residents.
All productions considering a film incentive rebate must be approved and have a signed contract before beginning principal photography.
Applying: To begin the application process, submit a pre-application or consult with the film office at 303-892-3840. Our funding is limited and therefore projects will be selected on the merits set forth in the application and not on a "first come first served" basis.
Submit the Statement of Intent & Application for Conditional Approval.
Approval - each project make must gain approval from the Colorado Economic Development Commission at a designated monthly meeting. The schedule can be found here
Register or confirm Good Standing with Colorado Secretary of State
Contract - A fully executed contract must be completed before incurring expenses eligible for the rebate
During Production: Colorado Residency Declarations – this form must be used during the course of production activities to maintain proper records of the percentage of Colorado residents employed on the production.
Set-Up Colorado Withholding - Colorado income tax must be withheld for wages to be considered a qualified local expenditure (issuing 1099's is not sufficient proof of withholding). If non-resident cast or crew members are being claimed as an eligible expenditure, Colorado income tax must also be withheld.
After Production: Audit - The production company must retain a Colorado Certified Public Accountant to review and report in writing, and in accordance with professional standards, the accuracy of the financial documents of expenses incurred during Colorado production and figures reported in the Film Incentive Proof of Performance.

Colorado Springs is a beautiful world-class city that has historically inspired artists and poets from around the world. Most notably known as "America's Mountain", Pikes Peak precipitated the creation of the song "America the Beautiful" written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1893 as she stood on the summit of Pikes Peak.
Nestled in the foothills beneath Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs is a thriving city with a downtown business district of modern high-rise buildings and wide side streets all splashed against the beautiful backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
With a wealth of sprawling ranches, abandoned mines and unique rock formations amongst alpine splendor, locations are easy to come by in an area of rich history and immense beauty.
