Could Wisconin become a filmmaking hotspot? I’ll believe that when having a college degree actually matters and installing cable will just be post script on my resume.
From OnMilwaukee.com
“This is a big deal and we’re all very excited,” says Kanavas. “A film economy has a very positive impact on the state’s economy as a whole. It creates well-paying and in-demand jobs for a creative young workforce and what many people don’t realize is that 50 percent of a film’s production budget goes to the local economy.”Plus, film work supports numerous other industries in the state. In addition to hiring Wisconsin residents as production crew members, many other industries in the state would benefit from a robust film economy, including hotels, motels, restaurants, car rental companies, catering firms, airlines and other support services.
Let us all not forget how our elected officals viewed filmmaking in Wisconsin as a revenue source just this past summer when they forced the Wisconin Film Office into closing.
