Been preaching this for a while. As L.A. continues to suffer, international film incentives continue to surge and expand. Various states in the U.S. are taking advantage. The world is wide open.

🎬 Fulton Films partnered with the Georgia Latino Film Alliance and Film Festival to host the Latino Film Festival #FultonCounty 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eRjdAQ25 🤝 This dynamic partnership emphasizes Fulton County’s commitment to promoting economic growth, highlighting inclusive narratives in film, and enhancing opportunities within the film sector #SelectFulton

North Carolina has lost over 10 billion dollars to the state of Georgia since legislators let our film incentive policy sunset in 2015. North Carolina had a solid competitive advantage and actively employed more folks than the 3,700 figure cited below. TV & film production employed folks across the state, including carpenters, caterers, electricians, and more. North Carolina’s economic development advantage is leveraged through competitive incentive programs. A frequent false narrative is that they are not “permanent” jobs. A solid production pipeline facilitates annual employment across the state, attracts a diversified workforce who will live, work and spend money in state, increasing tax revenue for the state, without having to raise taxes to overcompensate for the revenue losses. North Carolina has the opportunity to facilitate extensive workforce development via University of North Carolina School of the Arts and our other Universities and our extensive community college system, actively investing in economic diversification to keep North Carolina more strategically dominant in our developing global economy. Partisan & identity politics is not smart pro-growth economic development policy. Coalition building to create a better quality of life for all fellow North Carolinians is our path to a brighter future.
