Movies Filming in Somerset, Kentucky For Lifetime

I came across this great little article by The City of Somerset Tourism Department on a series of movies that are being filmed in Somerset. That article was written back in April of 2023 so I'm quite a bit late to the party.  It's still highly unlikely you've heard of this broadly in Somerset.

So why has a filmmaker with ties to Lifetime decided to come to our small town? The answer is the Kentucky Entertainment Incentive (KEI) Program. This program offers tax credits to film and television productions that shoot in Kentucky. The program has been very successful in attracting film and television productions to the state, and it has helped to create jobs and boost the economy.

According to this article on Yahoo Movies written for the Lexington Herald-Leader the "project has $75 million in tax credits to give annually to media productions that qualify." 

The KEI Calendar Year Report for 2023 confirms that expected tax credit and also confirms that six feature-length films will be filmed in Pulaski County/Somerset!

Now, realistically, I'm not the key demographic for movies that appear on or are produced by Lifetime. I'm more of an Action Comedy lover myself. But I do like the idea of encouraging movie-makers to bring their craft into Kentucky and particularly in the local economic opportunities and the local film/media interested folks that may benefit too. Happy for my town and its people.
