Panavision Re Opens Offices In Chicago!!!!!

This is good news, I always liked Panavision. They were and are true innovators, they actually invent and make things that make cinema better. It also bodes well for the midwest market in general. I worked on S1 of Prison Break that shot in Chicago and it's good to see production returning there.
 
I'm beyond excited for this! There is so much TV filming in and around Chicago now that it only makes sense. I really think Chicago is trying to compete with Atlanta.. a lot of Chicago set projects film in Atlanta now because of the tax breaks there (most recently The Accountant and Bad Santa 2) and I'd love it if Panavision could bring more work into the city. I'm not too intelligent with politics so I don't know what would need to be done for Chicago to give out a better tax incentive than Atlanta. Happy for all the TV, would love to see some really well done features made here again like in the 80s and 90s.
