Passage would help attract film production in Virginia with resulting economic benefits. This is an environmentally clean profession.
As a member and past chair of the Hampton Roads Chapter of the Virginia Production Alliance, an actress, and former talent agent who has been professionally involved in economic development, I
strongly urge passage of HB 1393. Virginia can meet
many of its financial needs by providing strong tax incentives to help attract and retain media production and personnel with tremendous economic and cultural benefits.
