i have not watched it, but I bet very few actors from RI were hired! They "whoever the rich politicians are," need to bring the film tax incentives back so more films can be done here. Who was the brain surgeon who canceled the tax incentive so that all the film jobs go to Boston and their surrounding areas who???

I remember the one year i worked a lot in stunts and acting in RI was 2005/2006. Never again I either have to go to NYC or Boston (better than traveling to NYC)

I can talk . Its called freedom of speech? is it not? I am not from the USA, but last i heard you still have freedom of speech. Besides bringing more films to RI, means jobs for a lot of actors that can help them feed their families and pay their bills. Just so you know. I still would love to know who canceled the film tax incentives. Cause they sure bring in minor players from other states even filming in Boston

You can speak, but also be criticized. Freedom of speech works both ways. You can only expect to be a regular film actor in 2 of the 50 states in this country. If you think that will happen in RI or even MA, you are not planning your career very well.

I have been doing stunts and acting since 2004. LA, NYC and Boston, and at one point RI. Is very nice when i don't have to travel far. Plus commercial and print work mostly in Boston of course, NYC. No, you don't have to be in NYC or LA to make a living at this. Times have changed except in RI. My question is, Why don't they bring back the film tax incentives? It would help the entire state, minor shops, actors wo are minor players etc.

Call your state representatives and ask them yourself. They are generally happy to hear from constituents. If they don't listen, vote for people who will.

That’s not what freedom of speech means…
