FILM CREW ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM - FCAP

FCAP is an incentive for production companies to help create more job opportunities for New Mexican film and television crew professionals. A production company is reimbursed 50% of a participant’s wages for up to 1040 hours physically worked by the qualifying crew member in a specialized craft position. This on-the-job training program is in addition to the 25% film production tax rebate.

As an example, a New Mexican Grip who is ready to move up to the Best Boy position and has no credits as a Best Boy or only one credit as a Best Boy from a

film or television project (that had a budget over one million) would qualify. The Key Grip would be that crew member’s mentor.

Step One: Fill out the Film Production Company Registration Form (if you have already applied for the 25% Tax Rebate or Film Investment Loan program and have already filled out this form, please skip to Step Two).

Step Two: As soon as the production has opened offices in New Mexico, submit the FCAP Application Part One, or submit online (available at forms) to the NMFO Workforce Programs Manager via fax: (505) 476-5601, or email: Tobi Ives.
