Yes but none of their trailers have been released yet... trailers for more films will be posted when they are released

Are you only doing big budget films or indy films as well? AVGN The Movie will be releasing next summer. It stars/written by/produced by/directed by a guy from the Jersey burbs, about half the movie was filmed in Philly and the burbs. The rest was filmed in SoCal.

Edit: Looks like the trailer was released today ("yesterday" for those who sleep). I'll refrain from posting, though.

Post anything whether Indy or Big Budget as long as it looks like it has some type of budget and isn't some terrible student and/or youtube film... lol

Yeah, I've read that a lot of filming is going on in the area. I'm sure the big motion pictures nuance taxes and other financials moreso because they have a larger impact to the bottom line. I believe this film had a budget of $150k - $200k. They may have tried to strong-arm the state into a sweet deal in exchange for filming the movie in Philly, and it was more than the state could/would go.

The state has a cap on the number of tax credits that can be taken in a year...$60 million total, I believe. The Philadelphia movie office wants unlimited tax credit not surprisingly.

I agree with the Philadelphia movie office. Why should there be a cap on the tax credits available?
