§ 5522. Eligibility Determination.
(a) If applicant is planning to produce a “qualified motion picture,” then applicant shall ensure that the “qualified motion picture” complies with the provisions of sections 17053.98 (b)(18) and 23698 (b)(18) of the Revenue and Taxation Code and applicant must film at least seventy-five percent (75%) of principal photography days wholly in California or seventy-five percent (75%) of the total production budget shall be incurred in California.
(4) For fiscal years 2021-22 and 2022-23, produced episodes of any length with a minimum budget of at least $1 million per episode, filmed at least 75% of principal photography days for at least one episode outside of California, and has not filmed more than 25% of principal photography days for any episode inside of California.
(d) To qualify as a pilot for a new television series, the pilot episode shall have a running time longer than forty (40) minutes, exclusive of commercials, shall be produced in California with a minimum budget of one million dollars ($1,000,000), and shall be the initial episode in a proposed television series.
(e) An animated production is not considered a qualified motion picture and shall not be eligible for a tax credit. Animated production means content created that does not utilize or incorporate live action footage but creates a motion picture consisting principally of computer generated or hand painted images. An animated production does not engage in principal photography and therefore does not meet the conditions for eligibility set forth in sections 17053.98(b)(13) and 23698(b)(13) of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
(f) Tax credits for a “feature film”, “television series”, “television series that relocated to California”, “pilot” or “mini-series” shall be applied to a maximum of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000.00) of the qualified expenditure budget. There shall be no maximum on the production budget.
