Abstract: Between 1992 and 2009, 44 of the American states adopted incentive programs to encourage film production. The primary focus of this paper is to report on a case study of state and national film-production employment during a period (1997-2011) when states were spending substantial treasure and effort to encourage film production. The paper further speculates as to the forces behind convergence of policy around film-production incentives. Ultimately, the evidence suggests that state efforts to attract film-production employment were largely ineffective and perhaps a zero-sum game.
