00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:01,134
Hello, everybody I'm

2
00:00:01,201 --> 00:00:02,336
PBS Wisconsin "Here & Now"

3
00:00:02,402 --> 00:00:03,203
reporter Murv Seymour

4
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:04,037
on location

5
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:04,972
at the State Capitol.

6
00:00:05,038 --> 00:00:05,572
Roll camera please.

7
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:07,140
Speed.

8
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:07,875
Did you know that

9
00:00:07,941 --> 00:00:09,076
lawmakers here just approved

10
00:00:09,142 --> 00:00:10,344
spending millions of dollars

11
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:11,512
to revive the state's

12
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:12,312
film commission?

13
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:12,946
What will it mean

14
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:13,714
for the state

15
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:15,048
that's best known for cheese?

16
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:16,283
Well, for filmmakers

17
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:17,784
camera people, actors

18
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:19,253
producers, pretty much anyone

19
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:19,820
that's involved

20
00:00:19,887 --> 00:00:20,454
in film production

21
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:21,121
it could mean

22
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:22,556
a whole lot more cheddar

23
00:00:22,623 --> 00:00:24,424
in the form of cash.

24
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:26,326
It also could mean

25
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:27,261
a lot more business

26
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:27,895
in tourism

27
00:00:27,961 --> 00:00:29,630
for restaurants, hotels

28
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:30,264
and the

29
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:31,331
entertainment industry.

30
00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:32,933
Other states are cashing in.

31
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,067
Why not Wisconsin?

32
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:34,768

35
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:39,139
Somebody needs to convince

36
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:40,407
somebody to invest

37
00:00:40,474 --> 00:00:41,141
in the very

38
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:42,409
reliable investment

39
00:00:42,476 --> 00:00:44,144
of filmmaking.

one-on-one with

44
00:00:49,183 --> 00:00:49,850
an Academy Award-winning

45
00:00:49,917 --> 00:00:51,118
movie producer

46
00:00:51,185 --> 00:00:51,852
whose work

47
00:00:51,919 --> 00:00:53,387
you've probably seen before.
