House Bill 1767 “Show Me Missouri Film and Digital Media Act” is sponsored by Representative Katheryn Swan (R). She has sponsored this bill for the past seven years. Rep. Swan is a champion for the film industry in Missouri after witnessing the impact it had when David Fincher’s Gone Girl filmed in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. This bill is a $4.5 million annual cap and provides a 20-25% tax credit incentive. There is consideration of 10% for qualified out-of-state expenses, as both STL and KC have crew that live on the other side of the border.
