Please keep our union talent working in Florida. Seems like my only auditions are coming from out of state. I don't want to leave Florida to survive. Your support is so appreciated!

FILM AND TV productions are green industries, that fuel tourism and real estate within the Florida economy. The
people who work in Film and TV are not "fat cats from Hollywood" but carpenters, make up artists and actors from Florida.

I have been working in Georgia for the past 20 years and after they passed the incentives the business began booming. Last year it generated billions in revenue, Jobs and opportunities. Many production companies grew out of the passing of the bill. I was there this week and there are 5 films being shot as well as Walking Dead and other TV productions.This is a great thing for Florida and will create jobs and revenue to the state .

The film industry will create hundreds of thousands of jobs each year in our state IF supported with tax incentives. Our Governor gives these incentives to enterprises that take away more and contribute less to our state. Please invest OUR tax dollars in this program- WE deserve the benefits!

Work is real slow this year and the only people who are getting work have to spend all there money on Casting Director Lori Wyman's workshops to get work. Please bring back the tax incentives so we can spread the work around and pay our bills.

PLEASE seriously consider this item. Georgia (and Louisiana) are getting the lion's share of major film and TV projects being filmed in the Southeast---Florida is getting almost none! Please make Florida more financially attractive to film production companies and the revenue they will bring to the State! Thank you.
