Hollywood in the Heartland: Bringing Film to Nebraska

Can Nebraska become the next Hollywood? Actor, director, and producer Randy Goodwin joins us to discuss his mission to bring the film industry to his home state. Learn about the challenges and opportunities facing filmmakers in Nebraska, the recent passage of a film incentive bill, and Goodwin's vision for a thriving film scene that creates jobs and showcases Nebraska's unique landscapes and talent. Takeaways Success in Hollywood can be achieved without living there full-time. Nebraska lacks film incentives, making it less attractive for filmmakers. Local support is crucial for building a thriving film community in Nebraska. Education in film should focus on hands-on experience rather than traditional methods. The film industry can be profitable and should receive more support from local leaders. Goodwin aims to create opportunities for local talent in Nebraska's film industry. The future of filmmaking in Nebraska looks promising with recent developments.
