B Smith's Second Sticks- Ryan Broussard/Wrapbook

The possibility of a federal tax incentive that actually includes the Non-Scripted genre is as uplifting a notion as we've had in our particular universe for some time. Naturally, we live in turbulent times in many different ways. So B Smith's Second Sticks sought out a voice of reason to try and make sense of it all. Ryan Broussard is VP of Sales and Production Incentives at Wrapbook, and has advised productions nationally for many years in regards to production incentives on both a state and a national level. He and I discuss the federal tax incentive and, in such a time of political and industry unrest, whether or not it has a chance of passing into law, and what form that would ultimately take. We also touch base on the Unscripted Summit, an annual meeting of unscripted production companies and producers which he spoke at, and get a sense of the general pulse of producers within our genre. We also spend quite a while on the state of California and their incentives package, and consider the the concept of whether larger shows that have left might have enough financial reason to come back to the state, and to Los Angeles. A lot of information and useful stuff, people! Give this one a listen!
