• 5% for at least 25% of main crew principal photography on a qualified soundstage and at least 3% of direct expenditures spent at the soundstage

OF+MO considers each Eligibility Application individually based upon many factors, including compliance with the Administrative Rules, the benefits of the project to Oklahoma (such as economic impact, jobs, tourism, branding, image and follow-on work), funds available, anticipated future program needs, and other projects applying for a rebate. Application does not guarantee acceptance.

While projects are only required to submit their applications at least 45 days before the start of principal photography, it is highly encouraged for projects to submit their application before the evaluation date prior to their desired quarter of principal photography.
