@DEBTT Code 181 allows an investor in a qualified film or television or live theatrical production to expense the purchases of equipment and other items which would normally be required to be depreciated over a number of years. Thus, you may be able to accelerate the deduction of major purchases. In general, the production must have a budget of under $15,000,000 and the production must be done in the United States. Here is more on the section  Section 181
