Additionally, it establishes the Office of Film and Creative Industries within the Department of Tourism to administer the program and support the industry\u2019s growth. The total credits will be capped at $10 million annually, ensuring sustainable and strategic investment in the sector.<\/p><p>This development is the result of years of advocacy from Action! Wisconsin and Wisconsin\u2019s film community, who have worked to restore Wisconsin\u2019s competitiveness in the national and global film landscape.
