Filmmakers and production teams working in Georgia can now access AI-powered answers to film tax credit questions through the newly launched Virtual Film Office from Fallbrook Financial Services.
-- With more productions leaning on tax incentives to control budgets, Fallbrook Financial Services announces that its Virtual Film Office can be used by professionals to clarify eligibility, timing, and documentation requirements tied to Georgia's film tax credit while projects are still in planning and staffing stages.

Georgia’s incentive program offers a 20 percent tax credit on qualified in-state production expenditures, with an additional 10 percent available when a production includes a promotional Georgia logo in the end credits and can prove actual distribution. The credit is transferable, which can benefit productions by permitting rapid exchange for cash funding. However, projects must apply and receive approval from the Georgia Department of Economic Development Film Office before filming begins, and are subject to detailed expenditure reporting and audit requirements.
For producers, studio teams, and film accountants, the challenge, notes Fallbrook, is rarely the headline percentage itself, but the friction that comes from application timing, determining which expenses qualify, understanding how local hiring affects eligibility, and preparing documentation that will withstand audit review. These issues can disrupt schedules or force late budget adjustments, particularly when teams are managing multiple incentives, vendors, and compressed production timelines.
The Virtual Film Office is designed to distill large volumes of film incentive information into clear, usable answers. Users can sign up at no cost, submit film tax credit questions, and receive AI-generated responses supported by source links and related reference materials. It also includes a forum where filmmakers, film commissioners, and industry professionals can discuss incentive questions and receive input from Fallbrook film finance specialists. The forum can be accessed directly at https://vfo.fallbrookfinancialservices.com/chat
“The goal was to take something that is genuinely complex and make it more accessible at the moment people actually need answers,” said Will French, Head of Film Finance at Fallbrook Financial Services. “Productions don’t just need percentages. They need clarity on timing, eligibility, and documentation while decisions are still being made.”
Also noteworthy is that the Virtual Film Office allows users to ask questions and receive answers in their native language even when the laws, rules or program regulations are in a different language. Thus someone in France can search the Georgia program and get a clear understanding, just as an American can learn about the Polish program, where materials are only published in Polish. Virtual Film Office supports move than 100 languages.
Fallbrook Financial Services publicly introduced the Virtual Film Office at the American Film Market, where the firm demonstrated how artificial intelligence can support real production workflows. The company continues to expand its use of technology in areas where regulatory complexity and compliance intersect, with the Virtual Film Office representing its latest application of AI within film finance.
