COLUMBUS, Ohio - The state says a new Ohio tax credit for film making is beginning to pay off.
The state says four movie projects will contribute about $25 million to Ohio's economy as a result of the credit enacted last year. That includes jobs, at least temporary ones, for production-crew members and extras for nearly 3,000.
The productions include the film "Unstoppable" starring Denzel Washington about a runaway train carrying toxic chemicals. Twenty percent of the film was shot in eastern and southeastern Ohio.
Three independent movies are in the works in the Cleveland area.
