It could be curtains for Michigan film incentives (Entertainment Brief)
DETROIT - Gov. Rick Snyder's budget proposal calling for the elimination of Michigan's film tax incentive program has some worried the state's fledgling industry could end up on the cutting room floor.
Considered one of the most generous in the nation, the state's film credits have ushered in a golden age of Michigan-based movie-making over the past three years.
But former Michigan Film Office spokesman Ken Droz says if the changes are approved by the Legislature, it would ``devastate the state's industry.''
Michigan's current program refunds 40 to 42 percent of a company's qualified expenditures.
Snyder's plan would order a $25 million cap on film credits.
