NBC Universal is spending $500million over 10 years in New Mexico on Film/TV. Also $4million to convert an empty warehouse in to a studio

@Disney wanted to shoot Timmy Failure in #minneapolis with a $50 million budget.

MN did not have a tax credit so it was produced in Portland.

Now there will be a sequel. Not produced in MN. @melissahortman

Disney plans to create 100 new movies and TV shows per year. These productions are made by real people working real middle class jobs.

“The fact, is we are only just getting started”

Make it in MN! #filmMN

Netflix may spend $19 BILLION on streaming content in 2021. All of that content, even the animated content, is made by real human beings working real middle class jobs. Make it in MN! #filmMN #mnleg

@BrandforHouse @wispindoctor @mncapitol @MNFarmersUnion This is awful news. Such a huge loss.

[IATSE Local 490 @iatse490]

Interesting that MN stole this from NJ due to strong MN film incentives, now NJ has strong incentives and MN's are very weak. This production would NOT look at filming in MN today.

#mnfilm crew arriving for work on a TV commercial shoot on Wednesday.

For one 30 second commercial, over 80 people were working on set. All union crew were paid wages + benefits.

This is a career. @GovTimWalz @rcchamberlain1 @johnlesch @RepLislegard @KarinHousley @mnfilmtv

Interesting read on a booming industry that will be spending money and creating jobs in states not called 'Minnesota'

@scrosb0711 @MinnesotaMotion @mnfilmtv @WCCO @GovTimWalz @mndeed @LtGovFlanagan @iatse490 Well, we will need roads and bridges for film trucks if we ever do get a film tax credit. Ha!

[Fund Snowbate @ShootInMN]

@scrosb0711 @MinnesotaMotion @mnfilmtv @WCCO @GovTimWalz @mndeed @LtGovFlanagan @iatse490 That is the million dollar question

[Fund Snowbate @ShootInMN]

@scrosb0711 @MinnesotaMotion @mnfilmtv @WCCO @GovTimWalz @mndeed @LtGovFlanagan @iatse490 Not the tax credit. Maybe a few breadcrumbs for snowbate, but nothing to build an industry on
