The Midwest is Entering a New Era of Production.

Illinois is evolving its incentive structures to include a 5% sustainability tax credit uplift, and productions that prepare early gain a real advantage.

We’re not waiting for the infrastructure to arrive. We’re building it.

We have been advocating alongside the IFO for the 5% uplift. We are part of the conversation: collaborating with local vendors to grow an Illinois circular economy, partnering with unions and community organizations, and actively expanding clean tech equipment options for Midwest productions.

When planned correctly, this is not an expense. It’s leverage.

How It Works

Pre-Production Planning.

Sustainability cannot be retrofitted at wrap. To maximize eligibility and impact, it’s best to involve Ecofixr during pre-production. We will guide you through your options and create a plan based on your unique project. We provide recommendations, but you remain in control of how to proceed.

01

On-Set Services.

Our team integrates into your daily production operations. We help departments meet their goals, handle waste diversion, and collect all the required documentation, so we can ensure all criteria are met and well-documented.

02

Documentation & Reporting.

We are your direct partner with the Illinois Film Office. We manage and prepare your sustainability certification application. If issues arise, we work directly with IFO to resolve them quickly. Then we coordinate with your CPA and submit the final application.
