An applicant shall be eligible for a single additional grant equal to 2.5% of total in-state spending by meeting one of the following:
(1) Completing at least 25% of their total Filming Days or Man Hours, as applicable, in Underutilized or Economically Distressed Areas (UEDAs).
(A) In
the event that multiple locations are utilized within a single Filming Day, in
order to calculate the 25% of total Filming Days in UEDAs necessary to receive
this additional grant, the Texas Film Commission (Commission) shall pro-rate a
given Filming Day by the number of shooting locations reflected on production
reports furnished by an Applicant to the Commission. For example, if eight
shooting locations are utilized in a Filming Day, and five are located in
UEDAs, 5/8 of that Filming Day shall count in calculating the 25% of total
Filming Days necessary for this additional grant.
(B) If one or more shooting locations is not
located in a UEDA, but is serviced by a basecamp located in a UEDA, such
shooting locations shall be deemed to be located in a UEDA when calculating the
25% of total Filming Days necessary for this additional grant. A Production
Company must have paid financial consideration to the owner/leaseholder of the
basecamp location pursuant to a location agreement to be considered a
"basecamp" under this subparagraph. The basecamp location must be listed on the
call sheets and/or other relevant production documentation.
(C) The Commission shall identify the areas
that qualify for designation as UEDAs.
(2) Demonstrating that 5% of the combined total of paid Crew and paid Cast, including extras, who are paid by the Applicant are Texas Resident "Veterans."
(A)
For purposes of this Section, a "Veteran" is a person who served in and has
been honorably discharged from the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air
Force, or Coast Guard; the National or Air National Guard of the United States;
the Texas Army National Guard; the Texas Air National Guard; a Reserve
component of any of the aforementioned military organizations; or any other
military service that the Commission determines to be allowable.
(B) The Applicant shall submit sufficient
information confirming the Veteran's status, including military-issued
discharge documentation and other information requested by the Commission to
support a determination that the person qualifies as a Veteran.
(3) Expending 10% of the total eligible in-state spending on eligible expenditures during Postproduction, including labor, vendors, and music costs.
