Film Incentives for the Rest of Us: Lifting Voices

This event took place on Monday, March 14, 2022 at 11:30 AM UTC.

How do independent producers get money back from incentive states to empower voices outside the Hollywood mainstream? Join tax incentives expert Ryan Broussard of Media Services for a panel discussion focused on how state programs can help a wider range of filmmakers get their unique stories told. In this panel, independent producers from different backgrounds will highlight the incentive programs that reward independents as well as those that incentivize diversity in hiring and storytelling. The discussion will touch on preselling incentives for indie financing, and producer panelists will share some of their own specific challenges and triumphs from the field. Venue: Austin Convention Center, Room 13AB Tara Ansley, Ryan Broussard, Sherice Chandler, Ezra Venetos
