Incentives Anyone?

Paul Bales — Wednesday, August 17th, 2005

There is a story in today’s Los Angeles Times about States with progressive tax incentives designed to keep production in the United States.

Programs like those in Louisiana, Illinois, and New Mexico are making a positive impact on the industry and, if nothing else, keeping producers from filming overseas.

SAGIndie is a national program, and we support the actions of these States and hope others will do the same.

California owes much of its success to the film industry, as does our Governor, and we hope the powers-that-be will do what it takes to keep the film industry viable and vibrant.

    I agree. Check out the film incentive package offered now in NC. And the NC Dept. of Commerce is meeting in LA this week with producers and directors. Bring that work south! Just keep it in the states!
