Sarah Palin show producer listed on film tax form

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A producer of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” reality series is listed in an application seeking film production tax credits from the state.

The heavily redacted 2010 document names Maria Baltazzi as executive producer of the unidentified production.

The Alaska Film Office does not disclose specifics about productions seeking tax credits until final approval. The Palin show, which debuted in November, is not among those listed as approved by the office.

Baltazzi is credited in filmographies as a producer of the eight-part TLC show featuring Palin, a former Alaska governor and the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.

The one-time series was produced by Mark Burnett of “Survivor” reality TV show fame.

Baltazzi told The Associated Press she worked on the series, but referred other questions to Burnett’s office, which didn’t immediately comment.
