This Economic Development Package (SB 1214) is vital to our Florida economy. You were just at Full Sail University where I work at. You came and showed your support in a major way at the ribbon cutting for Rebel HQ. How will you be helping so many graduating students and instructors who also make a partial living in the Florida film industry, if you do not throw your support and urge our legislators to make the right decision and passing this plan. It has been already proven so many times before that we can be an entertainment powerhouse.

As a working actor, as well as, an entrepreneur in a business not associated with film/tv, I have first hand knowledge of the impact this issue has on the state of Florida in multiple aspects. Please vote positively in this regard, as there is overwhelming proof that nothing but positivity will come from it. Thank you, Tyler Cravens

I've been in this business for 30 years. I don't know of any other business that affects a local economy with the infusion of dollars in all areas. And, then when we leave, we leave the area in cleaner and better shape than when we arrived. On top of that we can be used to demolish and build things that ordinarily would be taken care of under local budgets

This is obviously a win-win situation, what's the holdup?

The film, TV, and digital industry is one of the best investments the State of Florida can make. Not only is there a huge return on every incentive dollar, but the industry has a big positive impact on just about every other business in the state. What a great boost for job growth! Thanks for your consideration!

Help keep film/TV production in FL instead of moving to Atlanta where the superpacs have made it clear that no other surrounding state should have a film/tv tax incentive. Prove them wrong and support an incentive for film /tv production in FL with lasting effects and protected from wether or not a democrat or republican is in office. For every $1 given out as a tax incentive, there will be $15 coming in as a result. That's sound economics for FL!!!

Jobs, tourism, commerce, FL on cutting edge of film technology would help develop FL's film industry to one of the best in the US, quite possibly the world. This, of course, depends on supporting the tax incentive program. Thank you.

This is extremely important to keeping working actors like me able to continue to live in the state, all while promoting tourism and keeping Florida residents (actors AND crew) working.

It's not about giving money to rich entertainment industry celebrities. It's about providing jobs and boosting the Florida economy!
