The Film Office has supported production of more than 200 feature films, 29 television movies, 65 documentaries, 25 television series, plus numerous short films, commercials, and music videos in Mississippi

Film production in Mississippi has generated more than $575 million in direct expenditure since the Film Office's creation

The Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive Program provides cash rebates for productions that invest a minimum of $50,000 on Mississippi-based vendors, companies, and cast/crew payroll

The resolution formally commends and congratulates the Mississippi Film Office on its 50th anniversary and recognizes its contributions to the state's economy and tourism
