I read the book, and thought it was a great insight into our (sometimes) unseen neighbors, and some of the stories within it were very relatable for my father and how he grew up around here. That said, I have no interest in the movie.
December 1, 20204 yr Vance's book and the movie have in fact been criticized. I guess Vance is implying that WVXU has a liberal bias simply because they're talking about that criticism...? ❄️
December 1, 20204 yr I don't think there's much question as to whether or not WVXU has a liberal bias, is there? I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm not sure if that was a factor in their coverage of it, but as someone who used to be a donor - that bias is the reason they don't get a check from me anymore. The premise seems right, though - NPR and their affiliates have a subtle way of framing their coverage in a manner that is inherently bias. They aren't as obvious as WLW or the CNNs' and Fox News' of the world but the bias is real - which makes them even more dangerous, in my opinion. Their bias is obfuscated in the nuance of the quasi intellectual questions they ask and answer. They lead people to predetermined conclusions in a way that convinces them they did their own critical thinking. I'll try to watch the movie and listen to the Cincinnati Edition to confirm my speculation.

January 28, 20214 yr Cincinnati again ranks among top cities – No. 1 in Ohio – to make a movie For the fourth straight year, Cincinnati is where the action is - film action.

November 1, 20222 yr Robert De Niro to film 'Wise Guys' in Cincinnati Two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro will film his latest movie in Cincinnati. De Niro is set to star in a period piece about dueling mafia leaders within the Luciano crime family that is now scouting the region for extras. According to a casting call posted last week, officials are searching for extras, especially "anybody who is of Italian descent or who looks like they could be a NY mobster in the 1950s." Local casting is being spearheaded by Lynn Meyers. The film, according to media reports, centers on Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, two leaders within the Luciano crime family who fought for power during the late 1950s. Genovese ultimately ordered a failed assassination attempt on Costello, who retired early as a result. The Luciano crime was later renamed for Genovese, who took full control of the organization.

January 10, 20241 yr I had a meeting with a number of film investors the other week who gave me some insight into how the film industry works. What was most interesting is that they pointed out that the majority of the movies made will never see the light of day and are solely being made to get the tax credits that the majority of states offer. Not only are they not intended for theatrical release, but they are not intended to even be seen on Netflix or other streaming platform. Some of them even have decent stars (like many of the Bruce Willis movies filmed in Cincy over the last 7 years but never really were released). Some of these may see the light of day overseas or in South America, but the majority are just a tax write off for the studios and then they repay the investors with guaranteed tax credits provided by the state. While the investors get paid because their investment is guaranteed by your state tax dollars, it is a bit of a racket.
February 14, 20241 yr Greater Cincinnati film, TV productions land $32.6 million in tax credits The Ohio Department of Development awarded more than $44 million in tax credits for the filming of TV series and feature films across the state, and Greater Cincinnati scored the bulk of those incentives. Nine productions that will be filmed in Southwest Ohio received nearly $32.7 million in funds through the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit Program, which provides a refundable tax credit of 30% on production costs and crew wages, and other in-state spending for eligible productions. Feature-length films, documentaries, pre-Broadway productions, miniseries, video games and music videos are all eligible for the tax credit. “Investing in these productions fuels the vibrant creativity that’s alive in Ohio’s communities and serves as a powerful catalyst for economic growth,” Lydia Mihalik, director of the Ohio Department of Development, said in a news release. “These projects celebrate and showcase our diverse landscapes, generate jobs, stimulate local businesses and create a lasting legacy for the arts in Ohio.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2024/02/14/cincinnati-lands-millions-in-ohio-film-tax-credits.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

February 23, 20241 yr ‘Superman: Legacy’ expected to hire more than 3,000 Ohioans during filming When the crew filming “Superman: Legacy” comes to Ohio, it will bring thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of economic impact, according to the production’s application for state tax credits.

September 13, 2024Sep 13 Sundance Institute names Cincinnati finalist for hosting 2027 Sundance Film Festival The Sundance Institute has narrowed the field of potential cities to host the 2027 Sundance Film Festival, and Cincinnati has made the final three. Cincinnati was initially one of six cities shortlisted to host the event, a roster that included its current home of Park City, Utah, as well as Atlanta; Boulder, Colo.; Louisville, Ky.; and Santa Fe, N.M. The Sundance Institute on Sept. 12 narrowed that field to three finalists: Cincinnati, Boulder and Park City.

September 13, 2024Sep 13 Anybody know why Sundance is going through this exercise? Is it just a shakedown to get Park City (and Salt Lake City and the state of Utah) to kick in more incentives so they stay there (my cynical, but entirely uninformed, suspicion)? Or do they have genuine reasons for looking elsewhere? I did a cursory search of non-local media outlets, and this seems like a fair summary of the three finalists: https://variety.com/2024/film/festivals/sundance-film-festival-new-location-boulder-cincinnati-salt-lake-city-1236142278/ Quote In the case of Salt Lake City and Park City, in addition to the incumbent advantage of familiarity, the institute pointed out the state’s economic strength, growing diversity and the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Starting in 2027, the festival would revolve more around Salt Lake City with “elements in Park City.” For Boulder, the Institute highlighted the large concentration of artists in the area, a history of social movements, a welcoming environment, commitment to sustainability and the city’s Racial Equity Plan. Meanwhile, Cincinnati offers a focus on independent filmmakers, a thriving arts community and investment in arts and culture. Does anybody know what Sundance is asking these cities/states to kick in for incentives? Edited September 13, 2024Sep 13 by jwulsin

October 29, 2024Oct 29 Cincinnati could kick in up to $5M for Sundance Film Festival The city of Cincinnati is set to spend $2.5 million bringing the Sundance Film Festival to town, with another potential $2.5 million to come in the next budget year. The initial $2.5 million will come out of the city’s “closeout” budget, in which it allocates any surplus of funds for the previous fiscal year. In this case, it’s for FY2024, which ended June 30. If the festival comes here, the initial funds will be used for the festival’s capital needs. The second $2.5 million could come in the fiscal year 2026 budget, which begins July 1, 2025, and be used to support Sundance’s operating expenses, according to Councilman Seth Walsh. Approving such spending shows festival planners that the city is serious about Sundance coming here, Walsh said, adding the festival will bring a $120 million economic impact.
