FILM INCENTIVE PETITION. PLEASE SIGN!
TEXAS Legislations voted to slash our Film Incentives. Please take a moment to sign the petition to keep our incentives in place so we can keep working !
Texas jobs are at stake
Governor Abbott asked the State Legislature to renew the $95 Million film incentive program for the next two years. The legislature denied the Governor and only allocated $32 Million in the 2 year state budget.
An underfunded film incentive program will result in productions going to Louisiana and Georgia. Both have well funded incentives. Thousands of Texans who rely on these productions for work will suffer as a result. All the Texas business that support the industry will also lose revenue.
A program with real value
The Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program supports the film and television industry by providing production companies 5%-20% rebate on the money they spend paying Texas crew members and vendors.
According to the Texas Film Commission, as a direct result of the program, production companies have spent over $1 Billion in Texas since the incentive programs inception. With the local economic impact exponentially higher.
Since 2009, when the state began granting film incentives, the Film Commission has paid $126 million in 687 awards, nearly half of that spent on television productions, according to the Legislative Budget Board.
Billions are at stake
Even Texas based production companies that are determined to keep their productions in the state are lured away to Florida, Louisiana and Georgia to take advantage of the bigger incentives.
To make matters worse for Texas film workers. California realized the necessity of these incentives and tripled their funding from $100M to $330M per year to secure more production work for California crews.
Georgia also knows how important incentives are to their booming production industry. In 2014 the Georgia film incentive program generated $1.4 Billion in spending by production companies with an estimated economic impact of over $5 Billion.
Why a special session needed
The Texas legislature is limited and its regular session ends June 1st. The only way for the legislature to revisit this issue is to call a special session. In Texas only the governor may call the Legislature into special sessions and he also sets the agenda for the session he calls.
Without a fully funded incentive program Texans lose.
Please <http://tammp.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=edc0dff213442a17cd8dc563c&id=add2afcd0a&e=f418a6f624> click on this link to sign the petition. Your signature is valued. Please do this today and pass the link to all your film connections.
