So, 2009 may prove to be a banner year.  Hard to say with the state of the economy and industry.  There are so many things in disarray.  Indie shingles have folded, distribes are not looking as heavily, SAG may strike, and it then, yes, the overall economy outside the industry bubble.  But, movies are still getting made.

Calls continue to come about films looking for a home and looking to offset some of their equity risk by coupling soft funding structures together.  That’s why Oklahoma is such a grand fit.  Indion can provide the 12% up front, then the state delivers the 15% on the spend in the back end.  Pretty sweet deal if you spend is up.

So, we have some heat on the state.  I’m speaking on a more consistent basis with service providers looking at the state for a sort of build out of multiple services.  In the near future it might be that a film can save additional monies by more robust equipment rentals in state and post production facilities.  

Whatever the outcome, we are moving forward and looking forward to some healthy production for this upcoming year.
