Senator Barbara Leff, a strong proponent of our Motion Picture tax credit bill, is running for State Treasurer and needs 2,100 qualifying donations of $5 each for "Clean Election" funding. Below is a link to the required form to contribute. The link is entitled "Contribution Letter". $5, no more, no less, is all we're asking you (AZ registered voters only) to send along with the form to AFMC's postal address (listed on the form). We will act as the solicitors of the donations to help strengthen your presence through the AFMC. Thanks for your help!

We are pleased to announce our new executive board for 2009-2010!

President: Mike McGinn

Vice President: Shelli Hall

Treasurer: Matt Englehart

Secretary: Roxanne Chaisson

As many of you know our current Mopic tax incentive bill will sunset at the end of next year (2010) so we will certainly have a challenge ahead of us to raise funds to extend our bill into the future and insure Arizona's competitive standing in the motion picture industry. We appreciate all of your past and future help with our endeavor to make Arizona a premiere destination for filmmakers of all types and budgets! Keep the dream alive!

Please DONATE to our cause!
