As a result of new film tax incentives passed in 2022, many television and movie products are expected to be attracted to Arizona. This means more work for both human and animal actors locally, and companies are ready to train animals for their time in the spotlight.
As a result of new film tax incentives passed in 2022, many television and movie products are expected to be attracted to Arizona, and this means more work for both human and animal actors locally. FOX 10's Irene Snyder has more on how these animals are preparing for their moment in the spotlight.Arizona's new film tax incentives are expected to attract many productions to the area, and that means more work opportunities are available for actors in the area.
The new incentives came as a result of a film and television tax credit bill that became law in July 2022. Due to the new law, productions shooting in Arizona will be eligible for a refundable tax credit that amounts to 15% to 20% of expenses, which means there will be plenty more local films, as well as and jobs for actors, humans or animals.
"Working in film, that industry is a goal some people have with their dogs, and it's quite an achievement," said Boehm. On a basic level, one of the most common things animal actors need to learn is a sit, stay, take it, and hold. Meanwhile, buzzers are used during target training with foxes Smokey and Ashy. Like many other animals on the farm, Smokey is a rescue that went on to become a superstar.Rankin says one of the harder animals to train are cats, as they can be a tad bit stubborn.
