1. FILM PRODUCTION MEANS JOB CREATION Rebates will bring the film industry back to Minnesota in a hurry, instead of allowing the industry to film Minnesota films elsewhere. Major motion pictures bring hundreds of millions of dollars of new money wherever they film, hiring thousands of local crew, creating indirect jobs in the service industry and purchasing goods and services from local vendors. Movie production companies spend 40% of their production budgets on local vendors. Minnesota rebates attract these major motion pictures to our state; without incentives they simply do not.

2. Who is Shoot in Minnesota (SIM)? We are a Trade Organization 501c6 called Shoot in Minnesota. We are film crews, IATSE, Teamsters, SAG actors, carpenters, painters, animal wranglers, hotel industry people, waiters, Chamber of Commerce, rental car agencies, and equipment houses. We used to work on films like Grumpy Old Men and The Mighty Ducks. We want our jobs so we can live in Minnesota. We want the revenue brought by major motion pictures to come back to our communities. 3. How do Minnesota film rebates operate efficiently with existing state resources?

4. Minnesota Film rebates allow Minnesota stories and Minnesota locations to turn into Minnesota job opportunities. Today that is not happening. “Gran Torino”, “Juno”, “New in Town” and “Leatherheads” had 110.8 million to spend in the Twin Cities, Duluth and New Ulm, but without competitive incentives they did not.
Minnesota is losing out to the sum of 110.8 million, without rebates Minnesota stories are filmed elsewhere.
