Film Office takes flight

   The search for the next On Golden Pond continues. The New Hampshire Film and Television Office is working with Southwest Airlines to promote the Granite State as a great place for lights, cameras, action. FTO Director Matthew Newton says in yesterday's announcement,

“There are so many advantages to shooting in New Hampshire: there’s no sales tax, no income tax, no general film permits to fill out and the costs for food, lodging and other expenses tend to be lower than they are elsewhere. Then there’s the natural beauty of our mountains, lakes, forests and beaches, our classic New England villages and urban settings, and a myriad of other locations all ready to be used as sets. Constructing any of those would be an outrageous cost for a producer; here, they’re ready to go.”
