It's so great to see such community spirit generated by a film production. I am an actress and I'm always happy to see when productions film in the USA. I didn't get to work on "Ice Harvest", but I've worked with Billy Bob before. Thanks "Ice Harvest" for helping such an "American" area.
I live in Los Angeles now, where people are painfully aware of "Runaway Production" hurting our country. But, I don't think people in middle America realize how bad it is, sometimes. There was a time when news magazines said they thought that the film industry was a "recession free" business. That's not true anymore. Major corporations have bought out most of the major studios and are consistantly taking productions overseas.
One thing that the American movie going public can do is boycott movies filmed in other countries. I know that it's somtimes necessary to film in another country, for the scenery. But, many times it's not for that reason. Many times overseas filming is done JUST TO FILM as cheap as possible. I hope as more people become aware of the problem, things will get better!
