Let's get it together. Let's increase this credit, and get even more money into the province.

Huge mistake. This small but vital industry is worth keeping.Keep this tax credit.

Good luck:). Here's to keeping film industry alive in Sask!!!!

How quickly Brad Wall & Co. have forgotten the recognition (never mind the money) that Brett Butt & Corner Gas afforded what was. at that time, a "have not"province!!!
1307Jonathan Epp
I can't believe something so short-sighted was even considered, let alone passed. Creativity beyond mineral extraction obviously has no place in Brad Wall's Saskatchewan.

This cut is absurd. Cutting this tax is telling all those film companies to take their money to another province and telling the actors living in Saskatchewan that you don't care about them staying here. Keep this tax credit don't be stupid!

I have come to make several projects in Regina - and it was great. I am prepping a movie right now to come early next year. A win-win situation for the region and myself. It would be terrible if this was the end of it.

The SK Film Industry is good for our economy and good for our culture. Without a tax credit, film makers (myself included) will go elsewhere. This is a huge mistake.

Sad that such a marginalized industry has to fight for its survival. Live theatre, arts, films, and music are the spice of life. Other industries involved in the process also reap the benefits. You can fix this Mr. Wall.
1317Lorrie-Ann Vansteelandt
I hope the gov't will rethink this decision, the province was just starting to make headways in the industry this will totally cripple the film making industry for Sask. and we will lose a lot of people to other provinces. A real shame.
1318Leanne Schinkel
We were counting on this tax credit for a series to go into production this summer. This is a huge blow that will force us to leave the province if it's not reversed. Please reverse this decision, for us now and so many young filmmakers in the future.

I urge you to reconsider. I am a hard working member of this industry since graduating from the U of R in 2002. I want to build a life here and tell Saskatchewan stories, within this Saskatchewan industry.

Save the Sask film employment tax credit!
1323Bryan Hyland Sr
Such a ROI should be kept. Just makes economic sense.
1324BJ Hockley
these funds keep Dreams alive .. Dreams make us Rich in culture & prosperity!!
1325Sylvia Chave
1326Randy Albers
So with this decision, 1/2 of the industry will leave, 1/4 will go on unemployment and 1/4 will re-train.......cost of decision .......BILLIONS!
1327Roger Jakubiec
To say the least, unspeakable shortsightedness against the humanities - and for what possible gain?
1328Dallas Lowe
It is baffling to me to see a government that wants to move backwards instead of forward! It's baffling to see a government that wants to stifle industry and growth! I think this is a mistake.
1329joyce olesen
It is sad that so often the areas of society that are attacked through such legislation as this one to the film industry are the things that feed the souls and minds of people. The arts in all forms are as important as the bottom lines of dollars.

Keep the tax credit rework it if necssary and place an emphasis on working with the industry to grow it not cut it. The world class attention achieved in the past is a huge benefit to be built on.
1332Patrice Quarrie
This is definitely an issue the powers that be need to seriously reconsider for all the blatantly obvious reasons .
1333Joel Rivero
Save Sask Film!
1334Todd Kemp
Terrible idea Sask Party. Bring it back.
1335Richelle Reimer
1336Michael Gaudet
How do you measure the financial viability of an industry that not only generates 5-7 dollars with every dollar invested but also helps put Saskatchewan in a very positive light on the world stage? Creativity is the ultimate renewable resource !
1337Jeffrey Pufahl
Keep the tax credit and continue growing our province. Please do not let this industry die.
1338Les Shand
We NEED to support Media, Arts & Culture - it's the fibre of our lives!
1339Darci
Saskatchewan won't grow if people can't come to it for culture. Culture is what continues to allow every person to have something in common...the film industry must go on...it should be supported in its great effort
1340Emily Kutarna
I have been interested in acting in film since kindergarten. I believe that the film industry is important, and deserves funding.

The SFETC ensures a diverse economy in Saskatchewan. It's an investment in the creative economy, which is growing exponentially world wide. And it generates revenue for the province. Preserving it is essential.
1343Sharlyse mcarthur
I want to be an actor when I grow up if this budget cuts happens I will not be able achieve my goals in Saskatchewan please reconsider mr. Wall
1344Reena Lemon

I'm a born and raised SK girl that now lives in B.C. I see SK ads all over tv here, who is going to produce and shoot those ads, enticing folks to move back to SK if they drive the film industry out of the province? Seems like a silly idea to me.

Film tells our stories to the rest of the world and us as well. its an expensive business and needs all the help it can get.
