Columbus Indie Music Feature Premieres at Tribeca

Hope Madden - Columbus Undergrounds - June 9, 2021

 

 

"Columbus’ under-appreciated music scene meets its unsung film scene in a new movie debuting this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival. What’s this all about? Co-directors Noah Dixon and Ori Segev, Denison University grads and creative directors of the Columbus-based film production house Loose Films, sit in to talk us through it. Poser is about a young woman named Lennon who’s kind of an outsider trying to find a way into a vibrant underground music scene."

Timothee Chalamet film 'Bones and All' wraps filming in Columbus

 

The next time you see actor Timothee Chalamet on screen, it might be in a movie that features Columbus.  Film crews for the movie "Bones and All" were in town Wednesday at the Greyhound bus terminal on 111 E. Town Street.

 

The film stars Timothee Chalamet and is directed by Luca Guadagnino.  It reunites the pair, who worked together on the the 2017 Oscar-winning film," Call Me By Your Name."

 

Film Columbus Executive Director John Daugherty said the production team reached out to the organization earlier this year for help on location scouting.  Daugherty was on set Wednesday night for a scene that took place at the bus station.  That day was the last day of shooting for the six-week production, which also filmed scenes in Cincinnati and northern Kentucky.

 

"They got here Wednesday. They started shooting right when it started getting dark between 9:30 and 10 p.m., and they shot until 6 a.m. Thursday," Daugherty said.

I just saw this...two and a half years later! I remember watching Doug Adair in the 60's when he was in Cleveland. I guess he would have been that old by now.

Could Film be Columbus’ Next Big Industry?

 

A few years ago, Film Columbus began redefining the film industry in Ohio. We generally talk about film as a singular entity. As gaming and animation continue to explode, I have observed that we must recognize “film” as a more economically diverse industry. The game industry is three times larger than film AND music combined. The lines between film, animation and gaming continue to blur and will continue to blur. So we must include gaming, animation and even distribution when we use the word “film.” Film studios are looking at games for new IP. For example, Epic Games just announced the development of a film studio.

When we begin to talk about sound stages and film studios, you have to look at Georgia. Due to its robust film industry, almost $10 BILLION is spent annually in that state versus the $170 million spent in Ohio. In a meeting with Governor DeWine several years ago, he asked a group of film commissioners, including myself, “How can we be more like Georgia?” I will have some answers in the next installment. As a reminder, I did say $10 BILLION.

That amount of spending correlates directly to the tax credits offered by Georgia. The Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit (OMPTC) currently sits at only $40 million annually statewide. We have approximately $80 million per year in tax credit requests. Georgia, conversely, has an uncapped tax credit. If a production spends at least $500,000 in the Peach State, they are guaranteed the tax credit if they complete their project. 

The demand far outweighs the supply here in Ohio. It means projects go to other states after being declined in Ohio due to a depleted tax credit program. The exodus of projects to other states happens ALL THE TIME! We are working on legislation that will expand the OMPTC, add infrastructure incentives, and make for a more efficient program to serve more productions and keep jobs in Ohio (more on that in a later installment).

Here is a Halloween fan film that was done here in Columbus. It had a tiny tiny budget, but shows that there are some good film makers here that want to make movies. 

I’m also a little biased because my wife is in it.
