Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, known not only for his football skills but also for being the boyfriend of pop sensation Taylor Swift, is diving headfirst into the movie business. And what’s really making headlines is that his new film will be reaping the benefits of President Joe Biden’s controversial renewable energy tax credit.
Fresh off his Super Bowl victory, Kelce is pivoting to the big screen as a film producer for My Dead Friend Zoe. And get this, folks – the financing for this flick is getting a boost from none other than President Biden’s tax credits. Yeah, you heard that right. The same tax credits that have caused a ruckus with the whole renewable energy debate.
Was there ever actually anyone stupid enough to believe the "Inflation Reduction Act" had anything to do with reducing inflation?

But that’s not all. My Dead Friend Zoe is set to be a star-studded affair, featuring the talents of Natalie Morales, Ed Harris, and Morgan Freeman. Kelce will be taking on the role of executive producer, showing that he’s not just a tight end on the field, but a player in Tinseltown as well.
Now, let’s talk turkey about these tax credits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August 2022, is being touted as a game-changer in the fight against climate change. Some might call it a boondoggle, but that’s another story.
The film’s investors, including Kelce, are making history by being the first to take advantage of this act to finance a low-budget dark comedy. And where’s the money coming from, you ask? Well, it’s linked to green energy entrepreneur Mike Field’s surplus tax credits sale. Field, who also wears the producer hat for the film, is making it rain with those green credits.
But wait, there’s more! Hollywood bigwig Ray Maiello of Radiant Media Studios is singing the praises of these tax credits, claiming they take the risk out of financing movies. He credits President Biden for incentivizing this whole operation. Maiello and Field are over the moon about the potential of combining federal tax credits with Hollywood moolah.
And get this, they’re not stopping at My Dead Friend Zoe. Kelce, Maiello, and Field are gearing up to use the same strategy for a documentary, with hopes of sparking a revolution in the indie film industry. That’s right, folks. They’re looking to shake things up and ride the wave of this controversial tax credit bonanza.
So, there you have it, folks. Kelce is going from gridiron hero to Hollywood honcho, and he’s doing it with a little help from Biden’s renewable energy tax credit. What a time to be alive!
