The government says a "positive" story is coming out of the Nova Scotia film industry, but at least one long-time producer disagrees.

Halifax-based Arcadia Entertainment says without the Nova Scotia film tax credit, the future of their internationally-broadcast show, "Hope for Wildlife," could be in jeopardy. Hope Swinimer, founder of the animal rehab centre of the same name, says losing the show will impact the work she does.

The television and film industry has been growing rapidly over the past two decades in Nova Scotia, but that growth could soon be halted if the province decides to cut the film tax credit in the upcoming budget.
