Story

For two decades, production in Massachusetts has been shaped by people showing up – on set before sunrise, in edit bays long after wrap, in studios and classrooms, and at tables where filmmakers, business leaders, educators, and government rarely sat together before. The Massachusetts Production Coalition has been part of that fabric, connecting voices, aligning priorities, and helping this community build its own infrastructure so people can do more than work here – they can stay here, grow here, and build their careers here.

Why This Moment Matters

Twenty years is not just a milestone – it’s a shared industry history. From early organizing around the production tax incentive to strengthening workforce pathways that keep talent local, this anniversary is a chance to recognize what collaboration has made possible and look ahead to what comes next.
