Title: Man Seeks Incentive Package For Movie Producers
Post by: jay on September 18, 2014, 05:45:00 AM
Our city is being asked to provide an incentive package for movie producers.  The proposed incentives would include a float loan.

Nope - let them get their own money like real film producers.


City of Youngstown doesn't have that kind of money to waste.

What 99.999% of the people fail to realize is the fact that these flicks are shown once or twice then tossed into a heap never again to see the light of day. Money wasted and for what? A cheap thrill for the people who make it into the flick, and nothing else.
