Note: This episode was recorded just before the Louisiana legislative fiscal session in April. Since then, the legislature has strengthened the state’s film incentive, introducing a flat and more flexible 40% tax credit. These changes, along with new aspects of the recently passed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” in Congress, could make investing in Louisiana’s film industry even more attractive.
