"Cleveland is resonating within the film industry and we are thrilled that the local workforce has been very busy this year through multiple productions," said Ivan Schwarz, President of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission. "We continue to appreciate the support of Governor Kasich, Executive FitzGerald, and Mayor Jackson for all that they do to support the growing film industry in Cleveland and Ohio. Cleveland is really becoming a great place to make a movie."
"Jenny's Wedding" revolves around Jenny (Heigl) who causes a massive sea-change in the lives of her closely knit, highly conventional family when she finally decides to marry. A pretty and engaging woman, everyone is baffled by Jenny's lack of a love-life, and her parents (Wilkinson, Emond) particularly have been anxious for her to settle down, but when the announcement comes that she is finally going to wed, her choice of partner tears the family apart. In order to reconnect, everyone including Jenny, must reinvent themselves.

According to a Cleveland State University (CSU) study, about 900 full--time equivalent Ohio jobs and $176 million in economic impact were estimated as a result of the 27 projects that took advantage of the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit since its 2009 inception. The tax incentive returned $1.20 into the Ohio economy for every $1 invested by the incentive according to the same CSU study. A second study for the most recent two--year period is currently being conducted.
