Louisville has been making waves in the film industry over the past few years, with several movies choosing the city as their backdrop. On Saturday, downtown Louisville was the set for a new film, "Dead Man's Wire.""We're at the beginning of a film renaissance here in Louisville, where more films are shooting in Louisville and across the state than ever before, and we're going all in," said Mayor Craig Greenberg.The city and the state of Kentucky have previously hosted films like "Elizabethtown," "Secretariat," and most recently, "Amber Alert." On Saturday, "Dead Man's Wire" set up near Fifth and Jefferson Streets to begin filming. "Quite a few of the crew members who came in the week prior just to get their coffee and talk to us about what they were needing to do. They used our facade. But, you know, it was on a day we were closed," said Devon Crawley, a barista at Sunergos Coffee.Crawley explained how the film crews heading into town, bring more business to a lot of the local shops in the area. "Especially with the last year, there were a couple ones in production in the middle of the summer, and we noticed a big uptick there before the strike. So that definitely has improved our downtown business," said Crawley.Soozie Eastman, the president of the 502 Film Association, said the state's film tax incentive is a major draw for filmmakers. "Just last year, there were 77 films that applied for the film tax incentive, and that brings thousands of jobs to the area, especially here in Louisville, where we have a huge crew base where we have diverse locations, fantastic hotels, and obviously wonderful restaurants as well," Eastman said.The growing number of film productions is benefiting not just the film crews, but the community as well. "They're utilizing our restaurants, our hotels, and bringing those dollars within our community at large," Eastman added."Dead Man's Wire" is being directed by Louisville native Gus Van Sant. While a release date has not been set, the anticipation is building as Louisville continues to solidify its place in the film industry.
