South Carolina could find itself on the big screen more often if lawmakers approve measures to attract filmmakers to the state.
     
Representative Shirley Hinson introduced legislation on Thursday that would increase the state's rebate on film wages and in-state production expenses from 15 percent to 30 percent. Those incentives would be capped at 10 million dollars for payroll and 7.5 million dollars for goods and services.
     
Film industry publisher Tommy Melton says the state could attract four to six new feature films if lawmakers approve the
incentives.
