'Businesses are going to be able to flourish, restaurants, hotels are going to be filled. It’s going to be a fantastic thing,' Film Tucson director Peter Catalanotte said.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona could be going back to its filmmaking glory days—or at least that is the hope with the state’s new program incentivizing more production companies to film in the state through the Arizona Motion Picture Program.

Applications for the Arizona Motion Picture Program are set to open later this month, on March 23. The program aims to incentivize filmmakers with tax breaks as high as $125 million. Tax breaks will be limited to $75 million in 2023, rising to $125 million the following year. One of those key incentives includes a bump in labor costs when hiring Arizona residents.
