South Carolina Film Incentives Update
Call to Action!
The latest version of the film incentives act proposed by Rep. Bobby Harrell was passed by the House last week. That's great news, but are problems are not over by a long shot. We always seem to have a hold up on the Senate side of things. Please contact your local senator and let them know how important the film industry is to South Carolina. Not sure who your senator is? Just go to the website listed below and enter in your zip code. It's that easy!
Look for more information about this from the CFA in the coming weeks.......
