Join Film Industry advocates from across the state on
Monday, May 6, 2024, at 1 p.m. in the Main Rotunda of
the Pennsylvania Capitol Building as we make the case
for an increase to a $300 million film tax credit
program.

Our long history of film in Pennsylvania is in jeopardy
and the legislature must take action to ensure that the
thousands of Pennsylvania residents who work in this
industry can continue to work.

When our performers and crews earn a consistent living, the
Commonwealth and local taxing jurisdictions all benefit.

RSVP: Reservations are requested.
