Michigan touts aggressive incentives

Variety: "Offering what it calls the most generous film incentives in the country, Michigan -- land of 'The Evil Dead,' 'Blue Collar' and other last-generation films -- looks to become the next-generation state of choice when Hollywood goes on location."

I don’t understand why local governments are so eager to have films come shot there. In a state wide economy a film can’t sink enough money to make actively recruiting lucrative. There are only two cities in the country that will always be prime sites for US film making, New York and LA. Every other city is not as easily recognized. So if you need to shot a movie set in Pittsburgh, but Cincinnati is cheaper shot in Cincinnati. It’s all about who has the most attractive economy at the moment. So it sounds like Michigan is the place to be.
