Beyond Hollywood: HigherKey Immersive AI Studios Unlocks Storytelling for the World through Immersive/AI technologies.

Lack of tax incentives impacting idaho’s film industry
BOISE, Idaho — In recent years, the world of Hollywood has spread beyond southern California with entertainment industries booming in Georgia, Louisiana, and even in our neighboring state of Montana. But why not in Idaho?
A majority of states offer incentives to bring big film sets into town in the form of tax credits, rebates, and refunds. It can add up to millions of dollars, but in Idaho there are no incentives in place and local advocates say we're missing out on an opportunity to boost local economies.
