TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

This West Indian nation, located 11 kilometers off the coast of Venezuela, offers a competitive exchange rate and lower production costs than other island nations. If your team is filming a short or commercial that does not require a large crew, the Trinidad & Tobago Film Company (FilmTT) is a state agency that can loan local talent and location scouts for production teams. Small-scale spaces are also available for limited digital and green-screen work. The island was recently used for a short promotional video that accompanied the hit horror film The Nun

For international productions the rebate offers:

• 12.5% cash back for productions over $100,000, plus 20% cash back for hiring local labor

• 15% cash back for productions over $500,000, plus 20% cash back for hiring local labor

• 35% cash back for productions over $1 million, plus 20% cash back for hiring local labor

"As a longtime Location Scout and Manager that has worked in several film markets, I can say that Atlantic City has been one of the best-kept surprises I've found upon returning to the area. The generous support offered by Heather Colache and local public safety systems allow Productions to meet deadlines on budget and with virtually no red tape. The City's landscape has so much to offer, including it's fabulous entertainment backdrops, historical prohibition era architecture, a thriving small business community, diverse neighborhoods, vibrant network of mural art installations, and general can-do spirit have me coming back for more.”
