I'm a hard working member of Florida's entertainment industry with 4 straight-A kids who all want to remain here to build their futures in the same industry. I own my own business and employ many other Floridians. Please, please, please pass SB 1214. Barring this bill passing, my kids and I are off to California where we can build the future we'd hoped to build here — just like my father and his father were able to do for the last 110 years as Florida natives. Thank you, Mark Mullen, CSA Owner, Mark Mullen Casting, Inc.

I have been working in this industry for the past 20 years, and have seen projects move out of the state - this has impacted my earning potential dramatically. I urge you to please consider SB1214 as part of the call for the special session. Thank you.

Please consider this. As an actor on The Walking Dead and The Hunger Games, I am constantly traveling out of state to work on high-budget films and TV shows. With the amount of talent we have in Florida, we could be boosting our jobs and tourist incentives tremendously. Thanks for your time! -Jordan

entwrtainment, at some level, affects the being of the whole person. From infancy to the later stages of life entertainment strikes a balance in a world of turmoil. Entertainment is not a debate its a necessity!
