The pages of the calendar are rapidly being peeled off and the remaining days of the current Iowa legislative session are becoming fewer and fewer, so please do write to members of the Iowa House of Representatives now and tell them why it's so vitally important to fund the Iowa Film Office as per Governor Branstad's official budget report recommendation of $400,000. This sum is needed to relaunch the IFO, to purchase computers to replace computers pilfered by state employees when Governor Culver dropped the ax on film making here. The film office needs to start from scratch to create a locations file because the original file which contained hundreds of thousands of locations pictures and data was also taken and is lost, probably never to be found. When the film office returns, hopefully with Wendol Jarvis once again at the helm, movie producers will have to be convinced that Iowa actors and crew are not connected with past scandals. They'll need to once again see how beautiful Iowa landscapes and towns are and how honest and friendly Iowans are. Wendol can do a great job when he returns to head the IFO because he has Hollywood connections and years of previous IFO experience.
