Here are some articles I found that discuss the film incentive..

This article discusses the governor's decision to cut the film incentive. It goes into depth about the productions and companies that gained much success through filming in North Carolina.

This article talks about the losses NC will see as a state due to the millions of dollars in lost tax revenue. A study was done to show just how much impact the loss would have on the state, and will hopefully be used to "make the case in favor of the incentive's importance to the state's economy."

Earlier in December, Governor Pat McCrory decided to reconsider his stance on the film incentives. There is potential for the program to be revived, as McCrory has recognized the benefits film and television production has brought to the state.

This is an interesting page that briefly runs through the film incentives by state. I'm curious to see what other states are facing similar issues with the incentives potentially being cut, which states are seeing continued success and support, and even which states are benefiting from North Carolinian filmmakers searching elsewhere for work.

Most of the articles and news coverage regarding the film incentives date before December 18, 2013. I have yet to find anything more recent than this; I know the decision is still at hand and hope it stays prominent in the media.
