The state of Iowa has cut off tax breaks for movie makers and it's not just hurting big companies. A Cedar Rapids man created a business around films in the Hawkeye state.
CBS 2's Brittney Hibbs hears why he says his business is close to shutting down before it even got started.
Tim Miller always wanted to start an RV business.
"I always had a dream of owning an RV dealership or rental company something related to RV's ever since I was a little kid."
When Iowa announced a tax credit for filmmakers in the state, Miller took a chance.
"I was anticipating that yeah I could get in with a few of the different movie companies and rent this out to them and also just rent this out to just anyone who was wanting an RV."
Thats just what he did, rented out his RV to a movie company filming in Iowa.
But then, when the state announced they were putting a hold on the tax breaks, Miller was shocked.
Im getting no info from the state. I just wish the state would honor the contracts they sign.
Now out nearly 16,000 dollars Miller doesn't know how his business can survive.
I went into this, I looked at the numbers thought I could do it, still think I can do but if I don't get the 16,000 dollars thats going to really hit my pocketbook in personal ways."
He says the business is not supporting itself rather he is supporting the business.
Miller was supposed to receive his payment on October 1st but is still hopeful it will come through.
