Film and TV Production Incentives - A Real Example From Today's Plain DealerSubmitted by Kevin Cronin on Fri, 08/03/2007 - 15:27.
Once again, Cleveland's daily is excited about the latest “drive-by shooting” of the film industry, reporting that 'visitors to the Rock Hall got an extra treat — watching Rainn Wilson, chief geek from “The Office,” shoot scenes for his upcoming movie “The Rocker.” Once again, however, we are missing the big picture ... literally. While one day's shooting in Cleveland warrants the media attention, the “The Rocker” will be shooting forty-five days in Toronto, Ontario. While it's encouraging that, apparently, the producers and production team at least thought about Northeast Ohio as an option, they looked at the financial numbers and realized they would save a possible $1.5 to 2 million by shooting in our neighbors to the north. What's missing in Northeast Ohio?
We're debating taxpayer funded convention centers that will never generate a profit, build football stadiums on the lake that get used ten times a year, while other areas are cleaning our clocks in the growth industries. Literally, Ohio Legislature, wake up and get in the game!
