A plan to boost Neb. movie-making
By John Schreier
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

LINCOLN — The star power of celebrities might shine brightest over Hollywood, but one state senator wants to redirect some of that glow to Nebraska.

Legislative Bill 99, introduced by Sen. Colby Coash of Lincoln, would establish the Nebraska Film Advantage Act to offer financial incentives to production companies that make movies in Nebraska.

Nebraska is one of just seven states without a financial-incentive program for filmmaking.

Iowa suspended its tax breaks after an owner of a production company was charged with fraud in claiming excessive benefits. Kansas suspended its program because of financial constraints, and other states are pondering similar moves.

Nevertheless, Coash believes the state could become the Midwest’s prime destination for filmmaking, if it adopts the Film Advantgage Act.

“I believe 2011 is the year Nebraska has unprecedented opportunity to grow its film industry,” Coash told the Legislature’s Revenue Committee Friday afternoon.

Coash, an undergraduate theater major, has had minor or supporting roles in three small-budget films shot in Nebraska.
