COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state says movies, TV shows and
commercials shot in Ohio since 2010 have contributed more than $205
million to Ohio’s economy and employed more than 19,000 Ohioans with the
help of tax credits.
The Ohio Film Office says it provided more
than $52 million in credits to the 44 productions. The credits are aimed
at boosting Ohio in the competition among states to lure shoots.
Local communities also benefit economically from the productions that often employ
hundreds of Ohioans.
Films
to be shot in northeast Ohio include "Captain America: The Winter
Soldier" in Cleveland and "Underdogs" in Canton. "Crooked
Tree" will be
filmed in southeast Ohio’s Hocking Hills.
"The Tribunal" and "The Do Over" are slated for Dayton in
southwest Ohio. "In Other Words" will be shot in Columbus.
