Producer Success Stories

Trusted teams across Illinois rely on our guidance to stay compliant, protect margins, and keep production timelines on track.

Feature Narrative • Chicago Provided Necessary Operations Guidance

ilfilmtaxcredits.com was integral as a source of truthful information regarding production operations and financing options for my debut feature film, Creature Fear. Without their advice, I would’ve been lost navigating payroll options, contract management, and tax documentation. The team was responsive and willing to answer my questions. If they didn’t have answers, they were generous in pointing me to the correct resources. My film wouldn’t be complete without them!

Commercial Campaign • Chicago Kept Production Union Compliant

ilfilmtaxcredits.com helped me understand the payment process for my actors so I was compliant with SAG's rules on my feature film.
