ONTARIO FILM INDUSTRY WOULD BE 'DECIMATED' WITHOUT TAX CREDITS Ontario's film and television industry would be "decimated" if tax credits allowing up to 45 per cent of labour and a quarter of other production costs to be reimbursed
from government coffers were cut, said David Lickley. http://www.northernlife.ca/news/localNews/2014/06/17-film-industry-tax-credits-sudbury.aspx
HUNDREDS RALLY IN SAN FRANCISCO TO SUPPORT STATE FILM TAX CREDIT BILL But the Hollywood
credits don't count for much, says Susannah Robbins, executive director of the San Francisco Film Commission. That's because the city has only bit parts in the movies, which have filmed or will primarily film outside the state in locations such as Vancouver, Canada; Louisiana; Georgia; and Australia. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-on-location-san-francisco-state-film-tax-rally-20140618-story.html
