MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Filmmakers are telling Wisconsin lawmakers that a proposed tax incentive could make the state a more desirable place to do business.
Stacy Nash is a documentary filmmaker based in Milwaukee.
“With a film office and production incentives, Wisconsin can be more competitive. We have the landscapes, we have hills, we have a lake, we have trees, we have everything,” Nash We have the downtown, we have all of the scenery that we need. We have the talent, we have the hospitality. But what we need is the infrastructure to match.”
Under a proposed bill, companies could apply for a 30% credit equal to the costs of salary or wages of Wisconsin residents paid to produce a film.
