Check this out. I think it makes sense for us to comment on this post at this link if you belong to the group.

Film TV Professionals Group Members a title="mailto:group-digests@linkedin.com> CTRL + Click to follow link">group-digests@linkedin.com>Best city/state to shoot in (tax incentive wise)

Hello,

We are looking for locations to shoot in the US (I am the US producer, in the event we don't shoot in Europe - wherever the money comes from to make the film, that's the country we have to shoot in). Personally I thought California would be the most qualified but they are apparently (and understandably) less concerned with helping out films - obvious reasons why.

Louisiana and Chicago were two locations that were given to me by my exec producer, who lives in Europe. Does anyone have their own opinion in terms of this? I've looked at states' tax incentives for film, usually for 1 mill or higher, and Louisiana seemed to have the most validation as well as the best studios, which we'll need to shoot in. Would love everyone's take on this.
