From Tax Credit Revival to Industry Insight: Steve Weizenecker Featured in James Magazine and Variety
Barnes & Thornburg partner Steve Weizenecker was featured in James Magazine and Variety, for his pivotal work in reinstating Georgia’s post-production tax credit and offering insight on the state’s enduring appeal to major film and television productions.
In a James Magazine article, “Post-Production, Georgia’s Next Creative Frontier,” Steve is cited for his instrumental role and close work with entertainment trade association B.I.G. Entertainment Network to revive a post-production entertainment tax credit that had formerly sunset in 2022. The legislation passed offers a 20 percent credit to companies spending at least $500,000 on qualified expenditures, with bonuses for projects shot in Georgia or rural counties.
Steve was also mentioned in Variety’s article, “Georgia Maintains Status as Top Production Hub in the Face of Industry Slowdowns,” where he provided insight on the state’s longstanding success with film tax incentives and noted Georgia’s continued appeal to major productions despite recent industry challenges.
