HOW WE WORK

Every production will encounter the need to make purchases from suppliers who are not currently set up to do business in the location of production. Further, because production entities are most often created upon the start of preproduction, these entities have difficulty establishing credit with vendors. TMC enables productions to utilize its established credit and to turn these purchases into taxable transactions.  Bottom line: these transactions maximize incentives. TMC maintains an accounting staff of knowledgeable and experienced professionals who understand the particular needs of the film and television industries.

• The Media Cooperative is a Dun & Bradstreet-rated company that maintains credit with over 400 vendors who supply goods to the film industry (see attached partial list)
• All TMC transactions are subject to sales tax and a processing fee
