More films get tax credits
The early bird gets the … moviemaking tax credit.
The Ohio Department of Development committed $10 million to tax credits for films made in Ohio during 2010. More than 80 percent of it had been awarded by the end of February.
Department director Lisa Patt-McDaniel said almost $1.4 million in credits were made available in February to two independent productions being produced in Cincinnati and Akron, respectively - “Life After,” a suspense film about a landscape architect who takes a job as a caretaker at a neglected cemetery, and “25 Hill,” a film about the Soap Box Derby by actor and Ohio native Corbin Bernsen.
Almost $7 million in credits were approved for four other films in January.
Patt-McDaniel said the credits provide “incentive to build on our economic recovery by creating job opportunities and economic activity.”
