It’s the stuff every ticket owner dreams of — winning a heap of cash. And that’s exactly how co-director Joe Anderson felt when he was awarded Missouri film production incentives. This is what Anderson said in a published interview:

One of those investors also went a bit further and loaned us funds against a film incentive program from Missouri that allowed a 50% tax credit for every dime we spent in their State. It worked out quite well and I would love to do that again! Felt like winning the lottery!

The movie, Albino Farm, received over $193,000 in tax credits. Enjoy the trailer — your tax dollars helped pay for it.
