Support a Competitive Florida Film and Entertainment Industry Incentive
Sign Now
We the undersigned support a competitive, recurring Film and Entertainment Industry Financial Incentive Program for the State of Florida that allows for the growth of the industry in all areas of the State, and nurtures an indigenous Film and Entertainment Industry.
We believe that this incentive will be most effective in attracting business to Florida if offered as a transferable tax credit.
The Film and Entertainment Industry provides high wage jobs, is non-polluting, contributes nearly $500 million in annual tax revenue and can contribute immediately to FloridaХs economic recovery and growth.
Historically, almost seven dollars are spent on Florida labor and with Florida businesses before one dollar is ever awarded by the State to the Film and Entertainment Industry. This is a proven revenue generating industry that provides an immediate financial return to our local communities and tax coffers.
We believe that a competitive, recurring incentive will result in increased production activity, support the existing infrastructure, provide a significant boost to our StateХs economy and offer increased promotion and exposure for Florida tourism.
Florida stands to further lose its existing Film and Entertainment labor force and infrastructure to other States if a competitive incentive is not put in place during the 2009 Legislative session.
We strongly believe that FloridaХs Film and Entertainment Industry is ready, willing and able to play a vital role in FloridaХs economic recoveryЙFlorida is ТCamera ReadyУ.
Please support the future of an important Florida Industry.
