Podcast appearances and mentions of meredith jordan

Earlier on in our history we hosted a lot more shows on inner spirituality; the kind of thing you hear listening to "On Being." Nowadays I turn down about 90% of the requests I get for themes like this. As you can probably see by later episodes, we are much more interested in how religion and spirituality intersect with society. All that said, I do remember enjoying these 2004 conversations with Meredith Jordan, the author of "Embracing the Mystery." No real surprises here, but it is interesting to remember the landscape of the day.

These episodes aired in 2006. Meredith Jordan has appeared on Common Threads a few times. She's really an insightful woman. Her books are still available, but doing a quick web search, I am not able to locate her. Her organization Rogers McKay doesn't seem to have a presence as well.

For decades, Hollywood came to New Mexico.  To film.  The Land of Enchantment was largely the backdrop of movies.  Because it’s beautiful.  And not so far from L.A.  And inexpensive.  Now, Albuquerque is becoming a production center…Netflix and NBC Universal have signed 10-year deals with the city.  Is this good news? Journalist and author Meredith Jordan says – definitely, yes.  Although she’s seen the entertainment economy boom in Georgia and then go bust.

Join Dave Nassaney, as he co-hosts with Neil Haley to interview Meredith Jordan, an author who chronicled the making in Georgia and Las Vegas of the 2013 film Last Vegas, says tax incentives for filmmakers have proven to be mutually beneficial and are likely to stay.  “Tax credits have reshaped the face of movie production in the United States,” says Jordan (www.belowthelinebook.com), whose book Below The Line: Anatomy of a Successful Movie provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at an entire movie production. “To understand why much of the filming of Last Vegas happened in Georgia is to take a quantum leap into the business of Jordan can discuss for your listeners the economic dynamics of Hollywood filming across the U.S. and share her behind-the-scenes experiences of covering a big-budget film production. The entertainment that movies provide is deeply embedded in American popular culture. And in recent years, numerous states have decided to give tax credits to filmmakers to encourage them to film in those states. This has become an important part of those states’ economic strategy. As of 2018, 31 states offered such tax incentives, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). While the move has been controversial in some states, it has been a hit in others, such as Georgia, with Atlanta now being called “Hollywood East.” The state claims an economic impact of $9.5 billion since the film tax incentives were passed in 2008.    

Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Caregiver Dave will interview Meredith Jordan, Author Below the Line: Anatomy of a Successful Movie. Below the Line is a must-read for anyone interested in the movie-making process, from casual movie lovers to serious students of film. Sure, there are A-listers and celebrity sightings, but this book focuses on the unsung heroes of Hollywood and gives film fans a one-of-a-kind look at the anatomy of a movie. Meredith Jordan is an award-winning journalist who worked for East Coast news organizations for 25 years, including Dow Jones & Co., Cox communications and National Geographic. https://www.amazon.com/Below-Line-Anatomy-Successful-Movie/dp/1729386385
