FILM INCENTIVES

Over a decade, our country has managed to consolidate and strengthen its film industry through Law No. 108-10 for the Promotion of Cinematographic Activity in the Dominican Republic, as well as through initiatives aimed at strengthening the links in the cinematography value chain: from training, creation, and production to technical, artistic and creative services, distribution, coproduction, national and foreign investment and the training of audiences. With formulas adapted to the political and economic singularities of the country, the Dominican Republic has managed to project both its cinema internationally and its unique geographical position as a destination for investment and filming.

The Dominican Republic has managed to build a dynamic film industry based on an attractive combination of tax incentives, unique locations, world-class physical infrastructure, and first-rate services. In just ten years after its implementation, Law No. 108-10 has made our nation an authentic exception in Latin America, a country in which the film industry injects millions of dollars into the national economy through shoots of foreign films that choose the locations of the Dominican Republic.

Looking back, we can affirm with confidence, that what the industry and the country has achieved in cinematographic matters has ripened. After 10 years of tireless work, and professionals who have relentlessly contributed with their talent, effort and ideas, today, our country has an effective and robust industry that has successfully positioned itself as a film destination par excellence.*
