Montana offers cash grants to lure more movie, TV shoots

It’s not enough to offer tax rebates and credits to lure filmmakers. Now Montana has joined a handful of states offering outright cash to get Hollywood’s attention.

In addition to breathtaking mountain scenery and pristine wilderness, Montana is touting its Big Sky Film Grant, which provides up to $1 million in cash per fiscal year to Montana-based film and TV productions.

The program, which launched earlier this year, targets feature-length films and television series that shoot at least 50% of principal photography in Montana.
