Film Commissions, Film Commissions, Film Commissions

If one film commission is good, then three must be better. After the Wisconsin Film Office closed, Film Wisconsin opened an office at Visit Milwaukee. Earlier this year the Film Commission of Western Wisconsin established an office in LaCrosse. On September 30th, Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton announced at a news conference the opening of Film Green Bay, the first branch office of Film Wisconsin.

Hopefully with all these film commissions in place and the backing of Wisconsin’s Lt. Governor that a clean up bill can be written for the Film Incentive law that makes it:

• simpler to apply for the incentives (some other states have a two page application)
• apply to more productions (Jeopardy, Super Nanny and many of the other things shot here this year were not eligible for any incentives and may not come back because of that), and
• more straight forward in regard to the sales and use tax issue.
