The governor of Louisiana has met with eight major film production companies to discuss filming opportunities in the state.
NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reported Wednesday that Gov. John Bel Edwards met this week with Netflix, Warner Bros., NBC, Universal, HBO, Hulu, CBS and Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group. He urged them to use the state’s Motion Picture Production tax credit, which was implemented in 2002 to attract productions and boost the economy.
