Massachusetts incentives boost shoots
Variety: "Thanks to the state's newly renovated film incentives, film production in Massachusetts, which struggled along at one or two pics per year, has ballooned to an anticipated six or seven features shooting simultaneously in spring."

It is cool to see that Massachusetts is increasing the incentives for films, although this article doesn't explain the system of credit, rebates, etc. I can understand that Massachusetts is a popular state for films, as I have twice seen movies being filmed when visiting my Grandfather who lives there. It looks as if this will also have a nice economic effect by attracting jobs, and is a winning scenario for everyone.
Generally I insist on reading any article relating to MA simply because I grew up there, but this article turned out to be more interesting than I expected. I also thought it lacked explanations in many areas, but regardless it is so exciting to see how this will hopefully alter the economy and affect the surrounding communities. I really have never seen many movies being filmed there despite how long I have lived in Ma, but I have no trouble believing that it is quite the film-friendly state.
