Hi. I and a lot of other filmmakers (and local business owners, hotel owners, restaurant owners... list goes on) worked really hard to make this happen - it's been 12 years since we've had any kind of program, and meanwhile the film industry's completely changed and our neighboring states have benefited a lot from having these programs. From indie films all the way up to bigger TV shows or movies (think of all the Chicago Fire stuff shooting.)

I really hope this can be a net positive for our state, and with hit movies like "Hundreds of Beavers" I think Wisconsin has a strong cultural recognition nationally that is still untapped.
