This week, Governor Tom Corbett approved Pennsylvania’s film tax credit. To a collective sigh of relief from hundreds of our state’s film workers (and our Pittsburgh based crew people) Corbett agreed that the incentive brings hundreds of millions of dollars into Pennsylvania. It helps many businesses and individuals who are not “filmmakers.” Companies like caterers, restaurants, hotels, transportation suppliers, location owners and many, many more.

There are several major films, including the latest Batman feature, who want to shoot in Western PA, but have been waiting for the Governor’s decision. In today’s complicated world of film finance, states bid against each other to see which can provide the biggest incentives to producers. Now the proposed budget has to be rammed through our state’s legislature.
