- California now qualifies animated films for tax credits, a move reported by IndieWire that lowers financing costs for future productions.
Why it matters: Indian audiences gain a locally‑produced family film on May 29, and Vaibhav Studios can capitalize on a two‑year‑long Cannes buzz; California’s new tax credit for animated films lowers financing costs, encouraging more studios to invest in animation.
