The Arizona Motion Picture Production Program is up and running. It's the new incentive program that Old Tucson GM Tony Sanders expects will bring more filmmaking to the historic studio.
After a long delay, the Arizona Motion Picture Production Program is up and running. It's the new incentive program offered by the state to entice filmmakers to produce movies here in Arizona.
I spoke with Old Tucson's new general manager Tony Sanders and as I found out, the long-running movie studio and theme park is ready to go.~ Old Tucson GM Tony Sanders Sanders says he believes reviving filmmaking at Old Tucson will have a positive impact on the Southern Arizona economy."We're excited about it. It helps us bring so much, not just the filming per day, but the pre- and post-production to our property, to our facility, to our state.
Filmmakers can receive as much as $125 million in tax rebates if the entire production takes place in Arizona.They've already seen a resurgence of movies shot there, including one right now.Tony Sanders:"Yes. I can't give details but we have some more lined up. We have some contracts being signed and some opportunities rolling in. That's really going to be our focus for the summer: How do we get more production throughout the summer.
While film production is a priority right now, Old Tucson also has a summer concert series beginning in June."You may get to see filming going on," Sanders says."If there's a production going now, you can't be involved right away, but maybe you can get an extra spot. From our perspective you might be able to see it from a distance and really see what that movie production is like. But you're also going to hear the rich history of Old Tucson.
