Actor Dictionary | Soft Money

The reason this is called soft money, is because you're not actually getting financing for your film. Soft money is a way to reduce your budget with tax credits, incentives, subsidies, rebates, etc from the local government. When you film in certain countries or states, the local film commission will subsidize a set percentage of your budget because you are essentially providing jobs for local workers. Every film commission has their own website you can visit to see what incentives they have to offer. It's not uncommon to see large productions being filmed outside of Hollywood as they can literally save millions of dollars in doing so.
