Plugging Along...

Kudos to the Florida Film Production Coalition (FFPC). Those people that represent the FFPC do everything they can to bring Major Film Pdn. back to our State of Fl. They hold events to attain funds to support the cause. They have people working their heads off lobbying in Tallahassee to convince the legistlators that they need to pass bills to make Florida a place producers will want to come back to. Leah and everyone else that is working so hard; deserve a standing ovation!
I admit that there are times that my cynicism has gotten the best of me. No matter how we feel we have to contact our State Representives and tell them that you want them to support House Bill 697 and Senate Bill 1430. I told my State Senator that very thing in a town meeting a few weeks ago. I emailed my State House Rep. We have to be persistent. It does'nt matter if you are Union or non union. If you are a student film=maker or a hotel employee. YOU WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE PASSAGE OF THESE BILLS.
I'll give you the website, again, to locate your Reps. www.myflorida.com. Click Government and then navigate to the State House and Senate links. If you do not do this, then those lawmakers will have no interest in improving the Film Incentive program.
I admit it. I'm guilty of complaining. Now is not the time. Now is the time to contact your State Representative and do your part to help bring Major Film Pdn. back to our State.
