Save the Entertainment Industry in Special Session

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!

No one thing would represent our State better than allowing SB 1214 as part of the special session. This program would not require any money from State coffers.

Help me stay employed in the state of Florida. I am a 18 year member of Screen Actors Guild finding myself having a hard time earning any money in my profession here in my home state. I have gone to work countless times in Georgia and Los Angeles, but not once here in Florida in the last 5 years.

This would bring SO much revenue to Florida's economy!!!

Nenn in the Industry for 40 year, seen some changes but not much...please support the Industry.

Thank you for listening!

The film industry provides high wage job that gives our state unmeasurable exposure for our tourism industry. The money it brings is new money that rolls through the community. It personally has helped me to buy my condo, but now I have been facing unemployment for 2 years. Please make Florida competitive and pass the a film incentive soon. Thank you!

As a lifelong resident of of Florida and s 25 year veteran of the Film Industry, I urge you to pass this legislation so I don't have to sell my home and move to another state to be able to continue earning a living and paying taxes.

We support you in your support of us, legislators.

I am an actress that loves our great state of Florida, but I've been forced to travel frequently and seek work outside of the state, which has been really hard on our family. We already have the infrastructure here--and you've seen what a healthy tax incentive and growing film industry can do for states like our neighbor Georgia. Please help us bring our booming film industry back so that the many of us who have been forced to travel or move can come home. Thank you so much for your consideration!

I am a proud member of this Florida industry and Film Florida. This is a crucial time for us. Please help us keep more work here and our families in Florida. Thank you!

Save my industry friends jobs so they don't have to move out of state! I want the extra work too! Incentives help keep productions coming here!

This is a win/win for everyone. More jobs, more revenue, and more positive exposure for the state. Thank you for your support!

We need more filming opportunities in Florida. How about a studio in Orlando, there are so many talented people living in Orlando.

Please vote yes!! Take a look at Facebook and the number of pages devoted to Florida film, TV and commercials and you will see how many people are involved in the industry. The ripple effect will be tremendous, economically.

i want to work in Gil and television in the state of florida

I'm an actress and I run a production trailer company. We must compete with GA and LA. We can gain economic strength through local production.

We need this to compete against other states. These great jobs are going to Georgia unless we have comparable incentives. Thank you, John R. Borland

So today I read the paper and Florida's illustrious governor proposes socialism amongst hospitals by sharing.profits as way to go forth without federal funding. Insane. Please, support and pass the tax incentives for the film industry to work, then push the Governor to sign it, and advise him you are not happy turning down Federal money and will not support hospitals sharing profits.

What is Florida without entertainment?
