On the morning of October 29, 2024, Arthur gave a one minute speech encouraging the Orange County Commissioners to support a county-wide tax incentive for film and television production.
Hello and good morning.
My name is Arthur Goodman, and for the past 15 years I have lived and worked in Orlando.
I am here today with my business partner, Ben Gill. Together, we lead Oxenfree Film & Motion, an award-winning and Emmy-nominated creative video agency based in Downtown Orlando.
I also serve as President of AAF Orlando, which is the American Advertising Federation’s local club that represents over 120 advertising professionals in our community.
It is with this experience that I urge you to support the recommendations of the Workgroup, as they will benefit not only our industry, but every business in Orange County.
Film and television production is critical for communication, education, and marketing across all sectors.
Supporting our industry means boosting the local economy and keeping thousands of workers employed.
On behalf of the entire industry, thank you for your time and for supporting the continued development of film and television production in Orange County.
