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 FY2020 July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 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. Amount of film production spending in Illinois and number of job hires: Total Estimated Credits TOTAL Qualified Qualified IL Production Crew Talent FY20 ACTUAL Qualified IL Wages* Job Hires Issued Expenses* Vendor Expenses* Office Hires** Hires** Hires** (EXCLUDES EXTRAS)*** Commercial 274 81,698,489.95 46,980,200.15 35,229,267.60 1,073 8,333 820 10,226 TV 51 347,145,043.28 211,963,893.01 137,172,304.06 668 7,917 1,297 9,882 Film 26 18,993,792.80 10,126,926.70 8,867,266.10 81 1,598 307 1,986 TOTAL 351 $ 447,837,326.03 $ 269,071,019.86 $ 178,766,306.17 1,822.0 17,848 2,424 22,094 *Actual expenses reported are measured from the date of issuance of the tax credit. 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 15,715 “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. FY20 Diversity Hiring Outcomes* Crew # % White Males 7,662 48% White Females 3,111 19% African American 1,995 13% Hispanic 1,816 11% Asian 782 5% Native American 90 1% Other 503 3% Total 15,959 100% Non White 29% White Females 19% Protected Class 49% • 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 29% in FY 2020 up from 14% when the program was established. 2 Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Vendors Providing Goods and Services to Tax Credit Recipients (FY20) for vendors paid $10,000 or 10% of the accredited production's spending, whichever is less VENDOR NAME TOTAL AMOUNT CINESPACE CHICAGO FILM STUDIOS $13,363,442.44 FilmMaker Production Services LLC $9,678,532.59 NBC UNIVERSAL MEDIA LLC $6,922,085.55 CINELEASE INC $5,235,922.33 MARIO MOTION PICTURE CATERING INC $4,162,832.82 SJB RENTALS INC $3,898,175.20 KESLOW CAMERA INC $3,498,420.65 PREMIER LUXURY SUITES INC $3,378,404.86 DEEP DISH PRODUCTIONS OF CHICAGO $2,681,485.36 The Mill Group Inc $2,451,982.31 One at Optimus $2,390,195.48 Totem Lumber & Supply $2,003,272.04 A BETTER MACHINE $1,650,000.04 ESSANAY STUDIO & LIGHTING COMPANY, INC. $1,608,878.89 SC FUELS $1,527,235.76 CUTTERS $1,482,959.63 STEVENS SECURITY AND TRAINING $1,475,790.50 PERISCOPE POST & AUDIO LLC $1,419,329.30 KH SECURITY INC $1,365,438.31 Optimus $1,260,763.38 AETNA $1,235,867.73 PAYLESS CAR RENTAL INC $1,147,291.53 SUNBELT RENTALS $1,129,655.55 Studio6 $1,086,367.84 Whitehouse Post Productions, LLC $1,073,860.41 AUN POINT SECURITY $1,028,126.75 Cramer‐Krasselt $994,121.17 FILMGEAR INC $924,908.82 CHICAGO SECURITY PROFESSIONALS LLC $920,563.50 McGarry Bowen, LLC $915,411.36 H & M RENTALS INC. $895,505.00 MIDWEST RENTALS,INC. $878,620.00 Cap Gun Collective, LLC $859,789.98 HAT TRICK CATERING LLC $818,814.88 MK Films, Corp $786,431.35 THE EMBASSY SECURITY GROUP INC $782,400.69 ENTERPRISE $781,833.57 SUITE HOME CHICAGO INC $733,718.98 PRG CHICAGO $733,137.87 WINDY CITY LIMOUSINE COMPANY $718,771.95 VETO VIEWPOINT, INC $709,657.60 VER TECHNOLOGIES HOLDCO LLC $690,499.53 BIG CITY INC $684,325.54 HONEST FOODS $653,753.34 CHICAGOLAND TRUCK RENTAL $630,783.31 MCMASTER‐CARR SUPPLY COMPANY $607,692.65 THOMPSON CHICAGO HOTEL $565,069.56 PICTURE SUPPORT SERVICES INC $561,731.27 UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE CO. $554,105.51 DIGITASLBI, INC $542,962.99 CHICAGO STUDIO RENTALS INC. $518,974.90 SERVICE SANITATION INC $496,777.34 SIGNATURE TRANSPORTATION GROUP $495,670.87 T & P ASSETS LTD $489,605.58 GOLAN PRODUCTIONS INC $486,990.73 VETO ENTERPRISES, INC. $486,651.48 UTOPIC $484,405.00 Ogilvy $481,433.11 WEIGEL BROADCASTING CO $480,600.00 MANGO POST CHICAGO, LLC $473,955.00 JC LICHT LLC $470,162.46 PASKAL RUDNICKE CASTING, INC. $462,294.51 Carbon Visual Effects, LLC $461,174.56 G3 Accounting + Tax $454,300.00 11 DOLLAR BILL $438,682.00 Cavalry Inc. $435,695.57 PANAVISION INC $431,684.19 Page 1 of 21 Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Vendors Providing Goods and Services to Tax Credit Recipients (FY20) for vendors paid $10,000 or 10% of the accredited production's spending, whichever is less VENDOR NAME TOTAL AMOUNT KINETIC REMOTE SYSTEMS $417,697.97 NORDSTROM INC $413,999.02 SP PLUS COPORATION $413,887.69 Sarofsky Corp $392,706.20 Tessa Films, Inc $392,438.49 THE JAMES HOTEL $381,057.78 SIMFLEX SERVICES LLC $380,304.78 CITY OF CHICAGO $375,009.81 CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY $374,808.44 DEPUTY, INC. $367,684.70 DDB $365,622.87 HURON STREET DELIVERY $359,480.09 BLUE STAR SECURITY, LTD $355,747.00 2ND CINE, INC $349,432.53 BAM STUDIO INC $344,442.50 TWISTED MEDIA, INC. $341,142.25 DAUFFENBACH CAMERA $339,977.44 CLAIRE SIMON CASTING, INC. $337,656.42 CHICAGO PORTABLE POWER $329,209.04 INTELLIGENT LIGHTING CREATIONS $328,425.00 CREATIVE HD INC $324,258.17 IDEAL FACILITIES SERVICES LLC $310,167.00 QUIXOTE STUDIOS, LLC $308,142.24 RUMOR FILMS LLC $304,284.93 HERC RENTALS INC $297,468.83 Messy Pictures $297,082.49 Owens & Robinson $294,195.61 ARC DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS LLC $291,953.84 HASKELL MEDIA SERVICES IL LLC $290,506.41 GIBSON COUTURE CLEANERS $289,818.91 Kate Levinson Location, Inc $287,830.90 Epsilon Data Management $280,065.40 HONEY POOH INC $278,940.00 MIDWEST RIGGING AND TRANSPORTATION INC $278,323.00 71 Degrees North $277,168.27 Hammer Productions $274,952.06 AMAZING CREATION $274,731.26 O'Connor Casting Company $274,227.25 POWDERPUFF & BRUSHES $272,541.00 Andrea Mandel Grubman Photography, Inc $269,286.55 FLAVOR $267,112.27 AT&T $263,640.28 SIGN WORKS INC $262,993.47 CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT $258,121.36 CIRQUE FX LLC $258,016.39 CHICAGO PICTURE CARS LLC $247,625.00 SILVER CHALICE VENTURES $244,827.20 FLEET SERVICE CHICAGO INC $243,747.60 INDEPENDENT STUDIO SERVICES LLC $241,958.71 Framestore Inc $240,653.00 AIRPORT VAN RENTAL $237,692.94 Story $236,898.89 ISS ‐ ILLINOIS LLC $234,916.64 BLOOMINGDALE'S $232,604.07 AMERICAN ROAD SHOW CATERING $230,642.92 UNIVERSAL MUSIC ENTERPRISES $230,500.00 BROADWAY IN CHICAGO LLC $226,161.50 E‐COMMUNICATIONS $225,524.01 ANOTHER COUNTRY $223,282.39 Extreme Reach, Inc.

The film follows L & K, a queer activist couple who are flung into parallel realities after a deadly car accident and must embark on a search between worlds to find each other again.

Those of us who live on the fringe rarely make the cut when it comes to popular versions of dystopian, utopian or alternate worlds.
