The Illinois Production Alliance
The Illinois Production Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the Illinois film production community. We work closely with State and Local legislative bodies to create growth and opportunities for all sectors of our community.
Thanks to Periscope Post & Audio for our new logo design.
Who We Are:
The Illinois Production Alliance was established in 2002 to support and promote Film Production in Illinois. The IPA served as the driving force in the passage of the first Film tax credit program in Illinois and was instrumental in it’s expansion in 2008.
Established as a 501 c6, the Alliance continues to serve as an advocate and lobby for the interests of the film community with government officials, community leaders and the media. We promote and market Film In Illinois through industry events, support for the Chicago and Illinois Film Office, and one on one communication with industry executives, producers and decision makers.
Find Our Latest Newsletter Here
The IPA newsletter was born out of the very clear needs of our Illinois Film Production Community when the pandemic struck. Our community needed help understanding new COVID regulations, accessing unemployment, and finding a new way to stay connected and so, we pivoted to creating a newsletter that would keep you up-to-date with all the relevant news effecting our industry and, it has been an ongoing success thanks to our readers.
You can always find our most recent newsletter here. Our newsletters go out on a bi-weekly basis.
