This is an important source of revenue, recognition, and job creation for the state of Florida. There is no logical reason, fiscally or otherwise, to NOT support this industry to the fullest extent.

The incentive is imperative to keeping the entertainment industry thriving in Florida. Without it, industry professionals will be required to find work in/move to other states. Please consider this bill during special session.

Please bring our production jobs back to Florida so I can live at home instead of on the road out of state making and spending my money in Louisiana, Georgia among many other states.
Thank you !

I live in Orlando and have worked in the Production industry for 26 years...16 of those with my own company. Please bring back the incentive so people like me (and those I work with) stay in Florida. So many have already left to pursue opportunities in states where film incentives exist. You can help ensure that Florida's most talented professionals remain in Florida! Thank you.

Without this film incentive,your state will lose many millions in local commerce.
It was very foolish to shutdown your state incentive for film. We have Three movies planned to shoot in Florida but have since taken our first film to Toronto. You lost more business then you will ever know.

Please support Florida's Film/Entertainment industry. We have the power to continue to make Florida a desired location for film and entertainment while supporting local production, location and other creative agencies.

with the tax incentive would become more than a seasonal business. This is an important jobs bill.

As the new head of Valencia College's film program, I want to remind legislators that we need jobs for our graduates -- and without an incentive, we won't have them here. That means, thanks to our Bright Futures scholarships, we are deficit financing future workers for Georgia and Louisiana, where they have effective film incentive programs!

I and so many other actors still want to work in FL, but we must have FL state representatives's support in order to make this a reality. Take action and make a difference or watch neighboring states flourish from the quality craftsmanship Florida produces...

Let's go Florida leaders! Make history and support the Film Industry in FL. Too many talented artists/businesspeople, originally from FL are having to migrate elsewhere to find work. Time to put FL back on the map!
