To: City Officials, Investors, and Industry Leaders

We, the undersigned, call for the establishment of a major film production studio and increased opportunities for filmmakers in Kansas City. As a city rich in culture, history, and artistic talent, Kansas City has the potential to become a thriving hub for film and television production. However, a lack of infrastructure and industry presence has led many local filmmakers, writers, and creatives to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Why Kansas City?

Growing Film Community: Kansas City is home to talented filmmakers, actors, and production professionals eager for local opportunities.

Economic Growth & Job Creation: A dedicated production studio would attract major productions, boost tourism, and create jobs in various sectors, including film, hospitality, and technology.

Competitive Tax Incentives: By leveraging existing incentives and advocating for stronger film-friendly policies, Kansas City could compete with other production hotspots like Atlanta and Austin.

Education & Industry Development: Partnering with institutions like The Los Angeles Film School and local universities could foster a new generation of filmmakers and media professionals.

What We Are Asking For

Investment in a Film Production Studio: We urge city officials, investors, and industry leaders to support the development of a state-of-the-art film studio in Kansas City.

Enhanced Film Incentives: We encourage Missouri lawmakers to introduce or expand tax incentives to attract more productions.
Stronger Support for Local Filmmakers: We request grants, funding programs, and networking opportunities to help local creatives grow their careers within Kansas City.

Industry Partnerships: We advocate for collaborations between major film studios, streaming platforms, and local organizations to create sustainable filmmaking opportunities.

By signing this petition, you are voicing your support for a stronger film industry in Kansas City. With the right backing, our city can become a premier destination for film and television production, benefiting both the creative community and the local economy.
