Today Jay Villwock and I had a long meeting with a top official in the newly-elected governor's office. I can tell you that although it will take time, the Iowa Film Office will return and that efforts are being made daily to make that happen.
We also met with one of Iowa film's strongest supporters, Senator Bill Dotzler, Jr., who is continuing to work in our behalf. There are some great ideas and good plans underway, but until the recent series of film trials are over we will have to be patient, which is not easy at all.
Jay and also met with Richard Thornton, Motion Picture Ass'n of America lobbyist, and with others, including Bill Wimmer, a lawyer who has gone to bat for us as well.
