Had an amazing time attending my first ever
@visitmilwaukee event, held at the gorgeous
@warnergrand Theatre and Bradley Symphony Center. Loved hearing
@govevers talk about the new Wisconsin film tax credit. Long overdue for the state, but what am impactful it can have - bring more #film to WI, which leads to more jobs and other immediate impacts (hotel rooms, rentals, food purchases, etc.), but the films released then become a video postcard that further highlights the state, which, in turn, leads to tourism possibilities. You know how many bars, restaurants, hotels, etc I went to just because it was featured in a favorite film? I know not everyone’s as geeky as me, but I know I’m not alone here - heck, my 5th anniversary was built around visiting the locations from a shared favorite movie with my wife, “Sideways.” Visit MKE also did a great job highlighting tons of great food options, any number of which, I’d happy book to cater a film shoot while also highlighting organizer and other events as Milwaukee is certainly “Festival City” and Wisconsin is the festival state!
