Hawaii Beckons MGA Talent anticipates phenomenal growth, in part because of its entertainment industry, community and legal alliances in Hawaii's "new and re-emerging" T.V. and major Motion Picture industry. Hawaii verges on becoming the hottest filming ground outside of Hollywood! Hawaii's re-emergence is not only based on the lure of its tropical and natural locations and its diverse looks, likened to Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Pacifica but also because the State of Hawaii, in bold and recent legislation, now offers production companies some of the most lucrative tax incentives of any state in the U.S. For those who follow the footsteps of ABC's Lost, MTV's Beyond the Break, and the countless other famous films and T.V. episodics that preceded them to Hawaiian locations, there are very real and substantial economic benefits. For a summary of the fabulous tax benefits, and how they work, click here. The Hollywood Reporter, recently published an article titled "The Aloha Allure" explaining the impressive benefits of producing Films and Television Projects in Hawaii. |
