By supporting this you're supporting thousands of jobs across all markets and trades thereby stimulating larger growth by way of a narrower means.

As a member of the film community I hope you will pass our bill for film production so we won't have to compete with other states for our jobs. I am a Script Supervisor with a degree from a Florida college and want to work in Florida. Thank you for your time and please vote for the bill so we cn work in our home area.

Acting is my dream and I cannot afford to move out of state where it possible to make a living off it. To have this business here will not only make my dreams become a reality but others as well. Not to mention the importance of allowing more people to move forward in the Arts because it CAN be a providing career.

I was born and raised and have made a living in the motion picture industry for over 30 years. I have had the worst two years of my life and find myself looking for work out of state to feed my children. I am a single mother, and work hard. My fathere William Grefe' work tiredlessly to build this community and now it is gone. Compnayies that do come in come and bring their people with them.3/4 of Florida's film community have left their families and homes to make a living elsewhere. For a Govenor who wants to "get people back working" He sure as hell does not care about the film community and the supporting industry that it supports. And he sure does not care about the ove 1.4 billion dollars that has been lost.

please bring back the film and tv industry to Florida and help the Florida actors stay in Florida and not half to move out of state to find work.

Please remember that jobs in the film and TV industry are just as valid as any others. It is not my hobby . . it is how I pay my bills and taxes. If the state government is "pro-job" and wants to "get people back to work," please use this bill as a great way to show it! Thank you!

I am a young actor living in the Orlando, FL area. I am currently at a crossroads, and whether or not this bill passes is going to have an enormous impact on whether or not I stay in Florida. I am considering buying real estate, I'm developing my own business. I spend my money driving up and down Florida to auditions. I am just one of the many who may vanish from Florida should this bill not pass...affecting not only the TV and Film industry, but the state as a whole.

The film industry in FL is beneficial to more than just the obvious industries in its clutch. Please look to NC as an example.

As a recent film graduate, I want to stay and work in FL. But we need more jobs.

I want to stay in Florida. Hundreds will leave without this industry, and many more will never come in the first place. The impact is immense.

I am a Florida born resident. I have two children, a wife, and am a homeowner here in Florida! I want to stay here in Florida where my family is. This legislation will allow Florida to be competitive with it's neighboring states in regards to the film, television, and commercial industry. If this fails, the work will stop coming and people will pack up and move away. Please support this legislation.

THIS IS NOT feeding "Hollywood Monguls," as stated by those sponsored by the Koch Brothers. THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE PAY THEIR MORTGAGES AND FEED THEIR CHILDREN.

Dear sir or madam, this bill literally represents my livelihood and that of thousands of others in the state. It is a jobs bill. It also would be an unprecedented economics bill. Please consider this bill. I don't want to move out of state.
