TUCSON, Ariz. —
There was a lot of excitement when a new HBO crime series called Duster started shooting in Tucson. Producers liked how Tucson looked on camera. Tucson promoters were excited about the production spending loads of money — and the chance to show tourists they might want to vacation here. “The project spent $10 million for one episode, which is a huge economic benefit. They hired almost 200 local crew, almost 500 local actors, and they rented 9800 hotel room nights. That's a huge economic impact. The other great thing is to have top tier producers and location people here in Tucson for almost six months.”
And just like that I lose out in being a future lead actor in a Hallmark Rom-Com!!!!
Not they city's doing, it's all state. The state lost all Star Wars, Marvel and a Tarantino movie. The state hasn't learned they can make more money in local and state sales tax than they can putting a tax on studios
Again like Tesla factory, city dropped the ball. Az is to blame too. It would help a lot if people-in Tucson would stop pigeon hole the town as “a western” & only cater to just to that. Right now marvel and Disney movies are the craze. Need modernization and be flexible & ready
This city and council don't care. They focus only themselves.
No more incentives. We have an affordable housing shortage and the city is giving money 2 rich people. This has 2 stop
