Great conversation yesterday at the PIA : Production Initiatives Association panel on economic recovery and #filmtaxincentives in New York! William Lindsay and Daniel O'Donnell had great insights on the local constituencies and the misconception that film incentives only favor producers or stars. Here our Ryan Broussard demonstrates the size of a fish he once caught upstate, which may or may not have been due to the production incentive. #productionpayroll

"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men yes, Black men as well as White men would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." #MartinLutherKingJr #mlk

Why flag incentive costs in your budget? Most state incentive programs want the tagged budget with your application package, and you can use it to show projected returns to financiers. Join us tomorrow to see how to go about flagging those costs in your budget, and also get a look at a unique side-by-side incentive comparison feature in Showbiz Budgeting. See you there! #filmtaxincentives #filmbudgetingsoftware #showbiz https://hubs.li/H0wnQxv0

Tagging qualifying incentive costs in your film project's budget is a great way to prep for the application process - most state incentive programs want the budget with your application package, and you can use it to show projected returns to financiers. Also helps when you're comparing two state or local incentive programs side-by-side. Join us Thursday to see how to go about flagging those costs in your budget, and also get a look at a unique comparison feature in Showbiz Budgeting. See you there! #filmtaxincentives #showbizbudgeting #filmmakers https://hubs.li/H0w6djc0
