Excited to get the layout on global production & many thanks in advance to the panelists for sharing your time and expertise - both projects I'm working on currently have global elements, so understanding what having such elements as international location or story line, characters, etc. may mean in practical terms of production, casting, or distribution opportunities will be extremely helpful. I am also currently enrolled in one of Stage 32's certificate program, so doubly excited about the talk tomorrow.

Loving this Summit. A QUESTION FOR SAM: Hi Sam, am I right in thinking that it's not just about tax incentives, but when the rebate is giving to productions? Some countries in Eastern Europe were giving those rebates 3 or 4 years after production, which isn't really helpful to the film productions. Thanks, Geoff

Hi everyone - thank you all for attending today's summit panel. It's awesome to see the conversation continue here in the lounge and we're going to keep it rolling. Please keep coming back to the lounge, asking questions and if you'd like any recommendations for Stage 32 Certification courses that are best for you please ask here or email me at edu@stage32.com.
Dean Taylor - John Daugherty, one our panelists today, is the film commissioner in Columbus, Ohio. You can reach out to John via their website since you're in Columbus: https://www.filmcolumbus.com
Geoff Hall - yes, tax incentives and rebates come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the state you are in the US or the country you are in globally. Some incentives/rebates come back quickly and can be utilized by the productions as they do their final wrap-out and cost reporting, some are tradable paper that producers can sell or monetize through financial institutions and some come in much later, as you reference, and those usually become part of the revenue waterfall for the project. You can learn all about the nuances and how tax incentives work in the Stage 32 Tax Incentive Certification course - here's a link for the course: https://stage32.myabsorb.com/#/online-courses/4419e088-54ce-448e-a9ee-c0...
Does anyone else have questions what we can answer?

Hi everyone, thanks so much for the opportunity to chat with all of you! Definitely check out Columbus! We have a 30% tax incentive ATL & BTL, Fallback Studios coming in 2025, and we're supporting local filmmakers with over $375,000 in grants and competitions available if you live in the area. There are some great incentives if you're thinking about moving here. As Sam said above. check out https://www.filmcolumbus.com for more info and feel free to contact us with any questions. I'm more than happy to help and share ideas!

Certainly enjoyed this summit! Needed an official confirmation to how advanced filmmaking and communication can be done online given new technology also with some concepts of mines. Got the answer, it was already done in a stage 32 blog,, therefore can recommend with confidence and will like to see it's further development. Thanks stage 32 for the summit and the reply to my question. All the best to everyone!
