Subsidies for movie making are corporate welfare. Why are you such a fan of them.

If you create a success by subsidizing it, your pulling resources from the rest of the economy, forum other possible successes, and often causing more harm, if in less visible ways, than the benefit you get from the subsidies success story.

And even for the "seen" benefits, ignoring the "unseen" costs and losses, you have a zero sum game on these movie industry subsidies, or at least a near zero sum game, they mainly cause movie production to happen in a new location, one state gets a healthier movie industry not only by harming its taxpayers, but by harming another state's movie industry.
