(WWJ) -- Get ready for the spotlight -- Michigan may see a return of film incentives.
Legislation has been introduced that would create a two-tiered tax credit, bringing incentives to the state once again.
This comes a decade after former Governor Rick Snyder slashed the $25 million tax cap back in 2011.
Jim Klein, a director and cameraman who's with the Michigan Industries Film Association, thinks if approved, the incentives would draw a lot of projects to the state, creating a lot of jobs.
"We're looking at a more modest credit," said Klein.

Klein noted that one of the concerns about the last film incentive was that it had no cap in the beginning and it didn't have a sunset, or provisions of the tax code that expire at some given date.
"Productions that come into town looking to shoot their projects want to know that it's going to be around and stable," Klein said.
It would be 30% tax incentive on goods and services if a Michigan logo is included, in order to bring in increased advertising for the state's tourism industry.
