Ben Croll Playing a foundational role in the history of film and benefitting from enough picturesque locales to launch a thousand postcards, France has long attracted directors and crews from across the globe.Keeping them on site for more than a few days, however, was once a different story altogether.The 2009 passage of the Tax Rebate for Intl. Production (TRIP) and the subsequent 13 years of refinements both incremental and substantial have fundamentally reshaped that logic.

Ben Croll For some time, the French VFX sector suffered an acute case of brain drain, as young professionals would graduate from internationally admired institutions and nearly immediately take their talents abroad.“Years ago, when I spoke with students from [the renowned school] ArtFX, something like 95% of them planned to leave after graduation,” says VFX supervisor Emmanuel Pichereau. “Only when I consulted with this year’s graduating class, I saw many of them change their mind about staying in France.”What changed, of course, has much to do with France’s newly revamped tax plan, which now offers a 40% rebate to productions that spend at least $2.27 million with local VFX studios.

JANE SAYS: It must have devastated your partner when you left her for another woman. For 18 months she was forced to go it alone, while you lived it up. No doubt she missed you, but her pride was so badly wounded that she had to get you back. So she used every trick in the book to embarrass, shame and guilt-trip you into returning home. Now you are back, but things aren’t working out. The big reunion you expected was a damp squib. You’re not setting her on fire and she’s boring you. I’m in no doubt that her confidence took a huge hit by your rejection. You humiliated her by running off with a colleague and it doesn’t sound as if her self-esteem has recovered, hence the baggy T-shirt and no lights.The truth is that this is no way to proceed. You and she have to talk, in the cold light of day, about where you go from here. Clearly you are now dis­appointing and exasperating each other. Is that any way to conduct a relationship long term? Would she be better off starting again as a single woman and would you be happier going back to your ex? No split is easy, but it seems to me that this relationship ran out of steam a long time ago and has gone as far as it’s ever going to go. Start talking and don’t stop until you’ve resolved this, ­because drifting cannot be an option.
