Oklahoma has never been in a better position to attraction major productions. This year, lawmakers doubled the film incentive rebate cap to $8 million, and passed new legislation that frees up millions more for productions worth at least $50 million.

Sofsky says she’s recently heard from producers looking at options if they do leave Georgia with their productions.
