NYPA - The New York Production Alliance - Growing New York's Film and Television Industry

KEEP CALLING AND WRITING

NYPA STILL WANTS YOU to pick up the phone and call Governor David Paterson (518-474-8390), Senate Majority Leader, Malcom Smith (518-455-2701) and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (518- 455- 3791) and your NY State Senator and Assembly Representative urging them to authorize multi-year funding of the Empire State Film Production Tax Credit.

The tax credit has been renewed with an additional $350 M, but for one year only. While this is a generous amount, television production cannot consider shooting in NY unless producers are assured the incentive is a multiyear program. Continue to stay in touch with your elected representatives and explain the importance of a sustained effort for film and television production.
