#1 I think they are missing the point. I believe states hope to have two effects when they lure filmmakers. (1) Long term movie industry. If you have more and more films in your area you have a chance of breaking in big like Vancouver and becoming a second Hollywood. At that point the numbers listed change and incentives can be reduced. (2) Promoting tourism by showing the state. Yeah its not a state but ask New Zealand about the impact Lord of the Rings has been on tourism for a major example.
