1 Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Annual Report Types of Vendors Hired, Depending on Production Needs, Include Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Annual Report FY2019 July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019 When a production company is ready to claim their credit, they engage an Illinois licensed independent Certified Public Accountant who submits a report attesting to the qualified expenses including exact numbers of Illinois residents hired, and vendors used. However, the Film Tax Credit rule provides qualified productions up to two years from the completion of the project to claim a tax credit. Therefore, the figures reported may be for projects dating back to 2014. Beginning in FY2015 Q1, reporting methodology was changed from using spending estimates provided upon application to actual expenditures reported when the credit is claimed. However, we continue to report estimates for performance metrics. Estimates, while less precise, are timelier. Furthermore, projects awarded tax credits during this period may have been previously counted using the prior methodology.

Costs may have been incurred/paid in prior periods. ** Job hires represent a count of Illinois residents hired on productions and do not reflect unique individuals. Some residents may have worked on more than one project. *** There were 19,490 “Extras” reported on these projects; however, they are not included in Talent Job Hires for the sake of conservatism. Types of vendors hired, depending on production needs, include but are not limited to caterers, janitorial service companies, security companies, lumber yards, hardware stores, fabric stores, clothing companies, grocery stores, gasoline stations, hotels, restaurants, parking garages, office rentals, stage rentals, computer rentals, insurance companies and legal services. • We are unable to track vendor related jobs. Any given project will use hundreds of vendors and we do not track how many employees of a particular vendor work on each project. • In July 2018, P.A. 100-603 (SB 1461) was signed into law amending 34 ILCS 16/45 to help the Department comply with the statutory mandate that requires the Department to report the number of minority-owned vendor firms contracting with qualified Film Tax Credit recipients. Specifically, the new law, sponsored by Holmes, Kifowit/Turner, sets reasonable thresholds on vendor reporting. Additionally, it seeks to resolve the conflicts between the statutory reporting provisions that the Department make public proprietary and confidential information regarding vendor costs utilized by productions and prohibition of such information from disclosure within the same Act. 1 Whether or not the human infrastructure reflects diversity of the state of Illinois: • The film tax credit statute contains a diversity reporting requirement which means that no production will receive the tax credit without proof of a best faith effort to hire women and minorities as part of the technical crew and office staff. FY19 Diversity Hiring Outcomes* Crew # % White Males 7,907 49% White Females 3,141 19% African American 1,784 11% Hispanic 1,958 12% Asian 689 4% Native American 107 1% Other 590 4% Total 16,176 100% Non-White 28% White Females 19% Protected Class 47% • In order to promote racial diversity in the film industry in the state of Illinois, the Illinois Film Office continues to encourage educational opportunities for minorities to be trained for working in film and television. Illinois is the only state with a film production tax credit program with such a requirement. The Illinois Film Office provides support to a wide range of not for profit programs such as Free Spirit Media, Independent Film Project- Chicago, Midwest Independent Film Festival Summer student program, all of whom provide training programs for minority, women and underserved communities. In addition, DCEO has previously provided grant funding to IATSE Studio Mechanics Union (Local 476.) specifically for this purpose. The FILM office has worked with and met with our stakeholders to enhance awareness amongst labor trade unions, legislators, community leaders, and companies across the film industry to educate and inform about ways to succeed with a diverse workforce. Overall crew and production office staff racial diversity was at 28% in FY 2019 up from 14% when the program was established. 2 Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Vendors Providing Goods and Services to Tax Credit Recipients (FY19) for vendors paid $10,000 or 10% of the accredited production's spending, whichever is less VENDOR NAME TOTAL AMOUNT CINESPACE CHICAGO FILM STUDIOS, LLC $12,617,799.41 CINELEASE, INC. $5,995,588.56 FILMMAKER PRODUCTION SERVICES LLC $5,667,642.26 NBC UNIVERSAL MEDIA LLC $4,516,742.10 Keslow Camera, Inc. $4,376,377.50 SJB RENTALS, INC. $3,915,756.39 MARIO MOTION PICTURE CATERING INC $3,219,881.60 PREMIER LUXURY SUITES INC $2,821,269.73 DEEP DISH PRODUCTIONS OF CHICAGO $2,786,286.00 Chicago Studio City $2,654,646.75 TOTEM LUMBER AND SUPPLY $1,971,459.88 Aun Point Security, Inc. $1,689,248.00 A BETTER MACHINE $1,675,000.04 The Mill Group, Inc $1,656,790.54 Cap Gun Collective $1,483,670.83 SC FUELS $1,453,865.22 Essanay Studio and Lighting, Inc. $1,385,567.30 Quriosity Productions $1,368,927.87 SUITE HOME CHICAGO, INC. $1,348,140.68 McGarryBowen $1,333,107.54 PAYLESS CAR RENTAL INC $1,252,670.37 STEVENS SECURITY AND TRAINING SERVICES $1,202,524.00 Enterprise Car Rental $1,127,589.12 CHICAGO SECURITY PROFESSIONALS LLC $1,053,361.50 NBC UNIVERSAL CFS $1,050,513.13 AMERICAN ROADSHOW CATERING CHICAGO INC. $1,004,481.15 H & M RENTALS, INC. $1,003,615.00 SUNBELT RENTALS, INC. $947,993.05 City of Chicago $854,395.29 THOMPSON CHICAGO HOTEL $804,407.95 Filmgear, Inc. $790,705.17 CHICAGO STORY PICCOLO GULINER INC $787,638.73 Panavision Chicago $758,590.83 MIDWEST RENTALS, INC. $745,582.16 One at Optimus $733,130.46 KH Security Inc. $719,307.94 Veto Viewpoint, Inc. $718,042.21 PASKAL LIGHTING INC $710,550.90 Daufenbach Camera LLC $679,811.34 QUIXOTE STUDIOS, LLC $675,299.03 MCMASTER-CARR SUPPLY CO. $651,589.41 Optimus Inc. $643,866.74 HONEST FOODS INC $638,150.37 PICTURE SUPPORT SERVICES, INC. $591,893.57 Chicagoland Truck Rental $590,053.93 TWISTED MEDIA, INC $588,772.09 Chicago Transit Authority $569,030.00 AETNA $532,477.30 JC LICHT LLC $518,076.93 Chicago Studio Rentals, Inc $512,628.41 Fleet Service Chicago, Inc. $494,839.67 HAT TRICK CATERING, LLC $486,006.40 UNITED HEALTHGROUP INC $481,588.29 SIGNATURE TRANSPORTATION GROUP, LLC $472,922.17 WINDY CITY LIMOUSINE COMPANY, LLC $471,645.96 Leo Burnett/We are Unlimited $455,105.55 HERTZ EQUIPMENT RENTAL CORPORATION $453,874.10 Cutters, Inc $444,984.50 Claire Simon Casting, Inc $440,065.56 11 Dollar Bill $438,862.50 SERVICE SANITATION, INC. $430,896.92 PERISCOPE POST AND AUDIO,LLC $425,389.18 RAVENSWOOD KINOWERKS $420,630.24 SOLDIER FIELD/SMG $414,557.29 ISS - ILLINOIS LLC $408,433.07 Page 1 of 23 Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Vendors Providing Goods and Services to Tax Credit Recipients (FY19) for vendors paid $10,000 or 10% of the accredited production's spending, whichever is less VENDOR NAME TOTAL AMOUNT MANGO POST CHICAGO, LLC $404,871.50 AMAZING CREATION $400,891.50 Resolution Productions Group $400,514.56 Paskal Rudnicke Casting, Inc. $399,216.56 PRG VIDEO CHICAGO $392,785.40 Comma Music $372,451.96 Filmworkers Club $371,825.52 CHICAGO PORTABLE POWER COMPANY $370,363.40 Camera Crane Specialists Llc. $365,743.96 INDUSTRIAL & WHOLESALE LUMBER INC $348,244.96 SIGN WORKS, INC. $348,223.34 Chicago Park District $339,972.75 HONEY POOH INC $337,723.00 IDEAL FACILITIES SERVICES LLC $334,602.00 55 EAST ONTARIO STREET LLC DBA THE JAMES HOTEL $325,464.28 INTELLIGENT LIGHTING CREATIONS $316,369.71 STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION $312,033.73 Chicago Scenic Studios Inc. $309,157.17 G3 Accounting + Tax $293,400.00 EMERGING BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP,LLC $293,000.00 The James Hotel Chicago $292,973.01 CHICAGO PICTURE CARS, LLC $291,364.00 Tessa Films Inc $282,828.94 RSC INSURANCE BROKERAGE, INC. $281,606.00 AIRPORT VAN RENTAL, INC. $280,787.27 BLUE STAR SECURITY, LTD $277,800.00 KINDLING GROUP $277,377.58 Ogilvy & Mather $277,271.74 Golan Productions, Inc. $274,912.29 Whitehouse Post Productions, LLC $273,131.08 STEVENSON CRANE SERVICE, INC $268,393.83 Simflex Services, LLC. $265,185.29 VIDEO EQUIPMENT RENTALS, LLC $255,008.40 ULINE, INC. $248,003.69 PREMIER CAMERA SYSTEMS LLC $243,235.96 MAX MILLER PRODUCTIONS INC $239,930.62 SP PLUS CORPORATION $229,877.50 INDEPENDENT STUDIO SERVICES INC. $229,175.87 HERC RENTALS, INC. $228,145.01 LOHAN\DIRK $225,000.00 Creative HD, Inc. $224,857.41 TRIBUNE MEDIA COMPANY & SUBSIDIARIES $223,202.19 Schawk $219,974.25 BAM STUDIOS, INC. $216,980.75 SANDRO INC $216,288.05 SISKEL JACOBS PRODUCTIONS LLC $212,999.50 NORDSTROM, INC.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 18, 2014 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES THE SECOND EXPANSION OF RETROFIT CHICAGO’S COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS INITIATIVE 16 additional facilities commit to 20 percent energy efficiency improvement within five years; current participants have achieved seven percent energy reduction to-date Marking another milestone in the City’s efforts to accelerate energy efficiency, Mayor Rahm Emanuel today announced the further expansion of Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative. The new building participants, including 11 higher education facilities, four commercial office buildings, and one cultural institution, have committed to at least 20 percent energy efficiency improvement within five years. This announcement expands the total program reach to 48 buildings and 37 million square feet, making Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative one of the largest private sector voluntary efficiency programs in the country. “Retrofit Chicago participants are leading a rising private sector energy movement that demonstrates how efficiency makes good business sense and good sense for our environment,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These buildings’ operational and capital improvements are saving money, reducing carbon emissions, creating 21st century jobs, and lowering the cost of doing business in Chicago.” To-date, current program participants have collectively achieved a seven percent reduction in total source energy use, with accompanying annual energy cost savings of $2.5 million and greenhouse gas emissions reductions equivalent to removing 5,800 cars from the road. Upon reaching the 20 percent improvement target, all 48 building participants have potential to save more than 150 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, while creating hundreds of local jobs in the growing clean energy economy.
