ABC News covers the film credit fiasco

October 27, 2009

Fans of Iowa's film credits said they would make Iowa famous. They have, in a way. They have made national network news. ABC covered the story Sunday:

It has the sad story of the casting director who moved from LA to Iowa and a makeup artist who lost her film makeup contracts. To ABC's credit, they at least talk to one opponent of the credits, for at least 3 or 4 seconds. To their discredit, they fail to note that the casting director and makeup jobs are generated by a credit that has cost every Iowan $10 so far, and may end up costing us $121 each, even those of us who never get to see Mira Sorvino.
