AN INFORMATIVE MEETING about the Illinois Filmmakers 30% Tax Credit will take place Wednesday, Jan. 27 to explain how to wend your way through the qualifications to obtain the credit when your film is completed and getting ready to hit the screens.
Organized by Joe Orlandino’s Atlas Media and Stage 32, the knowledgeable main speaker is Christine Fitch of the CPA firm of Catalano & Caboor, who is listed on the Illinois Film Office’s list of accountants to contact about the process. Fitch will also answer questions.
Also speaking are attorney Jerry Glover, partner in Leavens, Strand & Glover, a leading intellectual property firm and IFO executive director Christine Dudley.

To clarify: The Illinois tax credit is still viable and applications are being accepted by the
Illinois Film Office. Issuance of the tax credit, however, will be on hold until the state's
budget crisis has been resolved.
