Well, there’s the wealth of professional talent, access to experienced technical crews, beautiful scenery and great weather, of course.

> An outline of the programs - what are the basics?

> How does a producer qualify and apply? How does in state hiring fit?
> Are there upcoming legislative efforts that may enhance the Programs?
> How can SAG-AFTRA members support those legislative efforts and incentive programs?
> Do’s and Don’ts
> What do the next five years look like for production in Tennessee?

A Q&A will follow!
