Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) today announced $10 million in grant funding for local film studio infrastructure projects through the Illinois Soundstage Program.
This grant funding – including $3.8 million for Rock Island-based Fresh Films – will support the state’s continued efforts to position Illinois as a leading production center in North America and help diversify the film industry outside of Chicago, all while boosting economic and workforce development across the state, according to a state release Wednesday.
