Rhode Island and Rhode Islanders Are Stars — See the Trailers

New movies and hot streaming series are premiering, and Rhode Island and Rhode Islanders are center stage.

From comedies to period dramas, Rhode Island is the backdrop. And one Rhode Islander is being featured in a high-profile Netflix series.

First, as GoLocal wrote in December of 2021, "Aria Mia Loberti, a University of Rhode Island graduate who is blind, will play Marie-Laure, the blind teenager at the heart of the story — the Pulitzer-prize winning All The Light We Cannot See. Her character’s path collides with Werner, a German soldier, as they both try to survive the devastation of World War II in occupied France."

Now, Loberti hits the screen.

Closer to home, it is no secret that Rhode Island is the stage for the new Good Burger 2 movie and HBO’s second season of The Gilded Age.

Both these productions received millions in tax credits via the Rhode Island Film and Television Office.

The benefits of shooting in Rhode Island are big for the industry — a 30% tax credit for state-certified production costs incurred directly attributable to activity within the state.

States trade big subsidies in the hope of building a viable film-making industry.

Rhode Island ranks in the top 10 states for best salaries for filmmakers.
