Fonda, Kidder Promote Montana for Films

More than two dozen agents, producers, screenwriters and other film industry moguls, including actors
Peter Fonda and Margot Kidder, were named Wednesday to a council charged with enticing Hollywood back to Big Sky Country.

Montana was the site of many film productions in the 1990s, among them the movie "A River Runs Through It," but has since lost projects to Canada and other countries that offer tax credits and additional incentives.

The Montana Film and Television Advisory Council http://governor.mt.gov/eo/EO3-2005FILM.pdf hopes to change that.

Armed with film industry tax breaks approved by this year’s Legislature, many of the council’s 26 members were confident they could revive interest in the state as a movie site.

"We’re very excited about this because the trend has been shifting for a while," said Diane Kamp, a film agent in Big Timber.
