This year, the Virginia legislature will vote on extending the incentives that the state offers to lure film and TV productions. Steve Taylor, Chair of the Richmond chapter of the Virginia Production Alliance (VPA) & Matt Benedetti (government relations) discuss the issue from the production community’s POV. Then, Andy Edmunds (Director of the Virginia Film Office) explains how incentives fuel the local industry.
