The Michigan Film Industry tax break allows for film makers who produce movies in Michigan to receive more funds back from the State than they actually pay in. Moore, a Board member of the MI Film Industry Commission, took full advantage of the tax refundable program for his movie “Capitalism: A Love Story.”
