An Arizona Production Assc NewsGram – June 29, 2009

As you know, we have all been fighting to save the Motion Picture Tax Incentive Program.

Your phone calls and e-mails have had a tremendous effect, as our State Representatives are beginning to listen and take note of our industry. The final budget is extremely close to being signed and we need your help. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. The APA and ESI have nearly completed the final phase to our Tax Incentive Study and it will be up on our website tomorrow afternoon.

Please take a couple minutes to call your local representatives and tell them that you work in the film industry and that cutting this program will have a devastating effect on your job as well as thousands of others.

Please also let them know that portions of the independent review of the MOPIC program can be found at: http://www.azproduction.com/news.php

Thank you for all of your help during this critical time.
