Kansas is one of 13 that does not provide incentives for film or television to be produced here. Filmmakers from the sunflower state say its cost Kansas opportunities. “We have missed countless, countless productions because Kansas cannot compete with other states that have incentives” Academy award winning screenwriter Kevin Willmott told the state senate’s commerce committee on Thursday. He is part of a group called “Grow Kansas film” trying to change that with a bill in both the House and Senate. “The film business has changed. Movies are shot in the place that has the best incentive, because the film business like any other business, is motivated first by profit,” Willmott told Senators.
