This document discusses the debate around Pittsburgh's high tax credits for film productions. Supporters argue the tax credits increase film production and revenue for the city, while opponents worry they are wasting taxpayer money and have not led to consistent growth in Pittsburgh-based film production. The author will conduct interviews on both sides of the issue and propose the best way forward to incentivize filmmakers without harming the city's finances or population. As a filmmaker and Pittsburgh resident, the author is well-positioned to analyze how to grow the local film industry sustainably.
