Film New Zealand says inquiries from companies about working in the country have risen by 25 per cent since financial incentives were increased last year, Radio New Zealand reports.
In December, the Government announced it would increase rebate incentives for filming in New Zealand from 15 to 20 per cent of production costs.
At least two international companies have signed contracts to film part of their productions in this country this year, both making use of the increased rebate.
They include the sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and an adventure film involving Hollywood producers.
