In simple terms, how does CAIC work?

Cast and crews are bonused a salary

The salaries “double” state film tax credits

A “restriction” is placed on each salary bonus

Restrictions are removed at “break even”

This provides loan collateral and liquidity

CAIC also insures a cast and crew’s

families (from disability and death)
