This is a great bill, many local vendors that work for this industry provide jobs and materials, some companies reply annually on their return. Please approve this bill, it matters to thousands of your Florida residents and their families.

Please approve this bill. Filming in Florida translates into tourists visits and Floridian jobs. Don't make us move to Georgia!

As a 32 year resident of Brevard County I beg you as an actor of over 30 years to support tax incentives for the film industry. My income has reduced over 30% due to film and TV projects escaping to Georgia and Louisianna. This matter is critical to create and save jobs in Florida.Thank you.

Please help save the Florida film industry. Without incentives work has decreased each year. Stop giving our jobs to Georgia and Louisiana!

I am a homeowner, 5th generation Tampan, active in my community and a registered Independent. I am also a SAG-AFTRA actor and acting coach. I want to live and work in my hometown. Please vote to make that happen. Otherwise, it's off to GA where incentives fuel the economy.

Either pass the tax incentive legislation with hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect entertainment related Florida jobs and generate multi-millions of film, television and digital revenue dollars that turns over 10 times in the Florida economy or lose those jobs with the business and tax revenue to Georgia, Louisiana and California.

Please pass this bill. There's nothing more frustrating than losing one film/TV project after another because our state lacks incentives ... especially when the projects are suppose to be set in FLORIDA! There are so many talented and hard-working people in our state who depend on this industry for their survival. Plus, it's a slam-dunk for the tourism industry to be able to showcase various production locations around the entire state. Your support is needed and greatly appreciated.

Tens of thousands of direct and ancillary jobs hang in the balance; billions of dollars in wages and revenue to our communities and citizens are at stake; inestimable millions of dollars in value to tourism through exposure of our state on big screens and small alike, stands at risk. We count on our legislature to understand and act to be part of the solution -- a major part.
