Not only is the sale of foreign rights included in the budget, but they also add things like tax breaks for states trying to promote film making. In some cases, those tax breaks can be sold to other companies.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-62658440865851848412020-07-23T21:13:37.255-04:002020-07-23T21:13:37.255-04:00Any change is going to have to come from the outsi...Any change is going to have to come from the outside.
