    New Tax Laws Just in Time!

    Chicago film producer and attorney, Corky Kessler, has written a booklet on the new tax laws that apply to any film under $15 million.

    Are you interested in giving investors a 100% write-off on their taxes from the new Tax Law and increase your bottom line with lucrative state rebates?

    Then you would find this booklet most valuable.

    No matter what type of film you're shooting this law can apply, length is not a consideration and neither is genera, so docs, shorts and Indies can use this new law.

    You may even be able to work under the not-for-profit banner and use the new tax law.

    All of this information is completely outlined in his book that is available to you for a $25.00 donation to our film grant.
    Corky has committed his entertainment and legal career to helping independent filmmakers, talent, producers and screenwriters with advice for the best ways to move their projects forward with the right team, legal protection, development and packaging.

    Corky has fully explained the new federal tax shelters from the American Jobs Creation Act signed into law on October, 22, 2004 as well as all the available state incentives. this information is totally updated as of 2007. See the interview page for a current Feb 07 update on people who used this tax incentive and how it was treated by the IRS.

    Corky says that Federal and State Incentives are what you need to attract funding and talent during development.

    Take this opportunity to clearly understand tax and state incentives in this complete package of funding information.
