Says here that the Avett Brothers shot a video in NoDa yesterday. Don’t believe it.
Couldn’t have happened, not according to state Rep. Becky Carney and the Charlotte Chamber. Nothing creative could possibly happen in North Carolina, let alone CLT, without a big fat subsidy from the state. Why, without a $75m. a year tax subsidy our local film and video makers would have to pack up and head off to Cally-fornia.
Nevermind that the tax credit on the books since 2006 has not attracted more productions to the state, if we just make the credit 66 percent bigger and continue to hand out ever-more money, someone is bound to take us up on the offer. And if you don’t believe me, you can just die, die, die.
