Local NBC story about Ace Wonder

The local Knoxville, Tn. NBC station released a news story about state incentives for filmmakers.  The story featured the filming of Ace Wonder.

"Tennessee offers up to 32% in transferable tax credits to film makers wanting to shoot a movie in the state. That percentage is comparable to some other states in the Southeast.

However, according to the Association for the Future of Film and Television, Georgia and Louisiana will cover big costs like producers and talent. The group said Tennessee does not offer such incentives above the line cost.

The independent film Ace Wonder is being shot in East Tennessee this month. It will hit shelves in 2011.

“It’s a family adventure mystery movie that takes place in the Smoky Mountains,” said Ace Wonder’s director John Moore.

The staff decided not to seek Tennessee’s film incentives for the five week shoot.

“[It's because] we weren’t really planning on shooting in Tennessee very long. But, once we got here, we found more locations that we wanted than we were expecting,” said Chad Gundersen with Ace Wonder."

Bellow is the news story, where we see some clips from Ace Wonder.
