Louisiana comes in at No. 1 in ranking of best states in which to film

With just 10 days to go before the new year, Hollywood South is closing out 2011 on a high note, topping P3 Update Magazine’s annual ranking of the best states in which to shoot a movie.

The magazine — a Hollywood-based monthly trade publication — compiles its rankings based on “the most attractive combination of tax incentives, crew base, talent pool, infrastructure, accessibility, significant production revenue and overall popularity among filmmakers.”

Louisiana’s trend-setting tax incentives are what helped it gain a foothold in the industry, but it’s not the only reason productions have continued flocking to the state in the nine years since the incentives were first adopted, P3 Update says.

“In addition to the Southern hospitality, Louisiana’s success is largely due to the state’s ability to attract repeat business with its attractive incentive programs, deep crew base and abundance of studio facilities.”
