Lights, camera, celebration! The Maryland Film Industry Coalition invites you to save the date for our 15th Annual Reel to Real Party on Friday, October 23, 2026, at Martin’s West. For fifteen years, this has been the night Maryland’s film community comes together, cast and crew, studios and small businesses, students and industry veterans, to celebrate the people who bring productions to life in our state.

This year’s celebration will include tributes to the people who make Maryland film happen including this year’s honorees, and our signature silent and live auctions featuring one-of-a-kind film experiences and the best of Baltimore and Maryland.

Every ticket and every auction bid supports MFIC’s work to strengthen the film and television industry in Maryland, an industry that creates thousands of local jobs and puts our state on screens around the world. Invitations, tickets, and sponsorship opportunities will follow soon. For now, just circle October 23, and plan to celebrate with us. Interested in donating an auction item or becoming a sponsor?

CALL TO ACTION: Don't Cut Maryland Film!

What is Happening

The Department of Legislative Services (DLS) is recommending the Maryland Film Activity Tax Credit be sunset after June 30, 2026 — eliminating it entirely!

At this week's Department of Commerce budget hearings, DLS will present this recommendation to the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee and the House Appropriations Committee. If they follow it, Maryland's film industry ends.

Your letter - sent by Friday, March 6, 2026 - can make the difference.

The Maryland Film Industry Is Not a Line Item. It's a Community.
What We Stand To Lose
• Thousands of diverse, skilled jobs - directors, crew members, performers, technicians, and support staff who built their careers in Maryland
• Millions of dollars in economic impact - every production drives spending across hotels, restaurants, vendors, construction firms, and small businesses statewide
• Student opportunity - Maryland film students depend on active productions for internships, mentorships, and career paths that keep talent in the state
• Business infrastructure — without the Maryland Film Activity Tax Credit, productions move to Georgia, New Jersey, or New York, states actively competing to win what Maryland would abandon

How You Can Help
Write a Letter. Make It Personal. Send It by Friday, March 6.

Step 1. Write Your Letter. Tell the committee members who you are, what you do, and why the Maryland Film Activity Tax Credit matters to your career, your business, or your community. Personal, specific letters carry far more weight than form letters. Legislators notice the difference.

Step 2. Use This Exact Subject Line. SUBJECT: DO NOT CUT THE MARYLAND FILM ACTIVITY TAX CREDIT

Step 3. Email All Committee Members. Don't just email the chairs - email every member of both committees. The full list with email addresses is below. Volume matters.

Step 4. Forward This Email to Your Network. Share with your friends, family, colleagues. Share with every filmmaker, actor, crew member, business owner, and film student you know. The more voices legislators hear this week, the greater the impact.
