Video/Link Epilogue from Ehrlich Press Conference @ Renegade Productions' Studio

As promised, here's video from Governor Ehrlich's press conference at Renegade Productions' studio yesterday (via)

Some coverage here:

• Washington Post
• WBAL
• Baltimore Business Journal
• Daily Record
• Baltimore Sun (Politics Blog; Z on TV - the post and comments are a must-read as "Wire" creator David Simon delivers a scathing assessment of the current environment in the industry - and the media's perceptions of it)

The takeaway: the film production industry in Maryland is coasting on fumes. Once one of the top five states for production incentives, Maryland is now in the bottom five according to the panel of pros at the press conference.

I'm curious to see what others think. What'll fix it? Does it need fixing? Does it matter? Besides throwing cash at it, what else do we need to do to bring movies back to Maryland?
