(WGTD)---A Kenosha man who operates what he says is the state's most advanced virtual video production studio is looking forward to an uptick in business thanks to recently-approved film tax credits.
Alex Kudrna set up his studio--Backyard Dream Productions-- several years ago in vacant space at Herzing University in downtown Kenosha. The building used to be home to the Kenosha News.
Kudrna hosted a visit by Gov. Evers Thursday who has been promoting the new tax credit in appearances around the state.
Kudrna's production company has been busy making commercials, corporate videos and music videos. He hasn't been able to land work from full-length film producers, but he expects that to change with the advent of the tax credits.
The main feature of Kudrna's studio is a $350,000 LED screen that allows him to seamlessly combine live shots with those on film.
Kudrna doesn't have any full-time employees, relying instead on sub-contractors in town and throughout the country.
