Fri - 21 Dec Written by Jon W Sparks

Jackson Baker, political columnist at the Memphis Flyer, asked Memphis & Shelby County Film Commissioner Linn Sitler to write a "state of the state filming incentives" op-ed piece. Her call to action appears in the Dec. 20-26, 2012 edition of the Memphis Flyer.

Jimmy Tashie, Chairman of the Board of the Memphis & Shelby County Film and Television Commission and Executive Vice-President of Malco Theatres says, "If you feel strongly that more money should be made available to incentivize film/TV/music in Tennessee, let your state legislators know. Their contact information is at http://www.capitol.tn.gov/."
