Screenwriter and producer Jaimie Engle has highlighted the importance of film tourism and production incentives in an interview with *The Credits*, published by the Motion Picture Association.
Engle, a member of Film Florida’s Legislative Committee, spoke about how incentives can help US locations compete internationally, support local economies, create opportunities for workers and allow filmmakers to tell stories where they actually take place.
On the impact of film tourism, Engle recalled her own experiences in her native Philadelphia.
“Film tourism is also often overlooked, but it’s very, very real. I’m from suburban Philadelphia, and I’ve run up those Rocky steps myself a few times.”
