Every production that shoots in Arkansas hires local crew, books local hotels, and spends real money with Arkansas businesses. The state's film incentive is what decides whether those productions come here or head to Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texas instead. This roundtable brings Sen. Tucker, Sen. Dismang, and Rep. McCullough into direct conversation about where the program stands today and what it will take to keep Arkansas competitive.

A 2025 state-funded study found that Arkansas film incentives return $3.62 in economic activity for every public dollar spent, and that the program needs a higher cap and a stronger structure to keep pace with states already pulling productions across their borders. Hear it straight from the lawmakers writing the policy, ask the questions that matter to your work, and help build the case for a film industry that stays and grows right here.
