Connecting the Dots: It's the Reel Thing

Dot #1: The Iowa House voted Tuesday to approve state tax incentives designed to help Iowa compete with other states in attracting major movie productions that spur jobs, economic activity, community excitement and tourism.

Dot # 2: Marilyn Monroe* approved by Iowa legislature to serve on the Vision Iowa Board (Iowa City's council member Regenia Bailey also serves on this august board).

Dot # 3: This weekend (4/13-4/14) the Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival at the Collins Road Twixtown Theaters (The only moviehouse with real butter in the popcorn) continues. April 20-22, the 5th annual Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival at the Bijou in the Iowa Memorial Union

* Okay, so its not that Marilyn Monroe (Or the symbolic Marilyn Dan Bern sings about). This one is from Johnston, Iowa and apparently a Chet Culver donor.
