Missouri Film Office Threatened

...says STLMCA, which is having an urgent town hall meeting on it. AdSaint has no joke, because this is no joke.

Says the org: "Funding for the MO Film Commission is slated to run out later this year, which would leave MO as one of the few states without a film commission. The governor has proposed funding it for one more year, but that must be passed by the state legislature -- and, as we know from past experience, ANYTHING can happen in the MO legislature. The MO Film Commission promotes the film industry outside the state and works with film producers to bring their films here. So, losing it would be a serious blow to the industry."

LOCATION: AmerenUE Headquarters. 1901 Chouteau Ave. (at Jefferson), Saint Louis, MO 63103.
