A number of high-profile movies have filmed scenes in Worcester and Central Massachusetts, with notable films including "Black Pather: Wakanda Forever", "The Holdovers", "Free Guy", "American Hustle", and "Honest Thief". Central Massachusetts being used as a moviemaking location is, in part, due to the generous 25% film tax credit Massachusetts began offering in 2006. Since that time, a microindustry has popped up in Greater Worcester, with companies offering moviemaking services like supplying props. The tourism agency Discover Central Massachusetts wants to entice more visitors to the region to explore its moviemaking highlights.
