"Filming in Indiana was a wonderful experience."
"As part of the locations department, my responsibility is to act as a liaison between the film company and the city and keeping both entities satisfied can be a daunting task.  City personnel, police departments, residents and business owners were more than enthusiastic during our film shoot and extremely cooperative throughout the entire process. 
In Gary, IN, I sat at the chair in a Town Hall meeting where I nervously proposed to close 5 city blocks for several days in a row. To my surprise, our proposal was received with open minds. Multiple city departments came together to accommodate our film shoot and turn our request into a reality. The professionalism and adaptability of the Indiana government and residents should be commended.  Thank you for a most enjoyable and memorable experience."

Governor's Message
"Indiana's media-friendly atmosphere makes doing business here a pleasure. Our state offers a variety of business incentives. The state also actively seeks other avenues to make Indiana as media-friendly as possible. From major motion pictures and low-budget films to commercials and music videos, Indiana is a great location for your project. Thank you for considering our state for your next media venture. We look forward to working with you.
Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr.
