For Alabama to be a player in hosting Hollywood’s biggest stars and directors — even those who are homegrown — it will need to open the taxpayer’s wallet, according to those closest with the state’s film industry. Here's how states attract film projects:
In short, the study claimed the economic benefits the film tax incentive provided to Alabama “are very small.” They determined the program simply was not worthwhile to continue.Film advocates claimed that if the incentives were removed, it would end film production in Alabama.
The state did not provide an itemized list of tax credits that went to individual films shot in Alabama. The most recent examples were provided by the state in 2017 and showed that the 2015 movie “USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage,” starring Nicolas Cage – shot aboard the USS Alabama battleship in Mobile – received the most in state tax credits since 2009, at $3.6 million.
“We had 6,000 hotel room nights that occurred from three movies that have been shot in Mobile,” Clark said. “That’s why it’s important for the entertainment incentive cap to be raised and for people to be educated that this is an industry we can build if we raise the cap.” “Georgia’s success can be complementary to our incentive increase and future industry growth,” she said.
