$30M Texas Production Incentive Proposed

In today's State of the State address, Texas Governor Rick Perry called for a $30M film production incentive fund in his proposed state budget. If approved by the Legislature (as it should and likely will be), it would go into effect this fall, dramatically countering similar incentives offered by many other states such as Louisiana and New Mexico -- thereby leveling the playing field for the industry here.

This is a Very Good Thing.
