MovieMaker Magazine has recently named Chicago as the best place to make movies in the United States.  A large factor is the 30% tax credit offered to filmmakers, as well as the recent success of films shot in the city, such as “The Dark Knight,” and the upcoming “Public Enemies,” featuring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.  With the economy suffering, taking advantage of financial incentives has become an increasingly important factor for filmmakers.  Other factors for the rankings included the number of local film schools, distributors, and talent pool.  Atlanta was number two on the list and New York was number three.  Click here to see the full list.
