The Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) is the only nonprofit dedicated to bringing jobs and economic impact to Northeast Ohio by supporting a thriving and adaptive local media industry. The GCFC relies on the support of businesses, community partners, and the generosity of individuals for funding. Since 2009, the State of Ohio has seen more than $1.1 billion in economic impact and created 6,192 full-time equivalent jobs thanks to our work. The GCFC was instrumental in securing state funding for Cleveland State University’s School of Film & Media Arts, Ohio’s first standalone film school. GCFC continues to support the school’s faculty, curriculum, and student interns since its opening in 2018. We continue to focus our efforts to increase the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit to $100 million and create a sustainable program that instills confidence in the industry.
