First Public Hearing on Film Bill LD1449 MONDAY 4/27 1PM Augusta, Room 127 State House

The incentives bill is ready for its first public hearing and I would like to invite you to attend. The public hearing is set for Monday April 27th at 1PM in room 127 at the State House in Augusta.

Barney and I continue our advocacy. I spoke at the Maine Film and Video Association meeting last night and Barney and I made an appearance on the Ray and Ted show at 95.5 FM this morning.

Because the show is no longer aired on Fox I asked my friend and filmmaker Brett Plymale to use my old school JVC video camera to record the piece. He did a great job. Thank you Brett. You can view the segment at:

In addition the Mainebiz television show which airs on NBC channels 2 and 6 in Maine at 10 am this Sunday will focus on Visual Media Incentives and their possible impact on the State of Maine.

Host Alan Hinsey interviews actor Jonathan Frakes, DECD Commissioner John Richardson, Maine Independent filmmaker Dana Packard and yours truly. Alan says the show is great and we’d love to have you all tune in.

Barney and I will continue to keep you updated and we’d love to hear from all of you.

Have a great weekend!
