We expect Governor Scott it is time to wake up and recognize the importance of jobs and revenue to Florida that the entertainment business brings here. We are a multi-billion dollar industry. Your decisions in the past have got production companies running to Georgia and other states. We calling on you to stand up for the people of Florida and support the needs of this industry.

Passing the film incentive program in Florida should be a no-brainer. I know Gov. Scott would have passed it if there was a way for him to get money out of the deal. That is what everyone is saying.

Cultural Arts and Filmmaking are vitally important to our local economy and our future as a viable place to make films. Please help Florida grow as a great place to work in the film industry. Don't let California have all the fun.

It's now or never...... a huge portion of our resident film workers have abandoned the state for the greener pastures of Georgia or Louisiana, and who could blame them..... they have to work and there is very little here. We were once number three in film production, after California and New York...... but that is now just a memory. Please help return the industry to our state.

As one of Miami's film and television professionals who is struggling because of the current legislation for our industry. I strongly urge that this situation is addressed at the special session agenda.

Film, plays, and other forms of entertainment are needed in any community. It brings people together and it's a creative outlet for others.

Please. let's get these tax incentives back for Florida! So many more jobs will be created! It works. It worked before and can work again! just look at how business is booming in Georgia and some of the other states with the film industry tax incentives, for many areas including travel, hotel, catering, production companies, and the list goes on and on and on. Without these incentives thousands of people will lose their income! some people would lose not only their jobs, but they have to they will have to even close their businesses down. And that's not what we're about, is it!?
