## Resource

Hawaii just upped the ante for filmmakers with a new law boosting production rebates to $60 million annually, aiming to lure bigger projects and fuel local jobs. Governor Josh Green calls it a smart bet to spotlight the islands’ beauty and talent, while actor Jason Momoa, a proud native, cheered the move as a win for Hawaii’s creative future. The updated incentives now include higher per-production caps and bonus perks for hiring locals—making the state more competitive globally. With a long-standing film incentive program and new data showing strong economic returns, Hawaii’s push is poised to attract more productions and revitalize its cinematic scene for years to come.
