Information from a Thursday, May 12, 2011 WFAE Segment on the North Carolina Film Industry taken from www.wfae.org

North Carolina has been a destination for Hollywood filmmakers for more than two decades now thanks to our varied landscapes, large cities and a studio in Wilmington. Now North Carolina is becoming a source for films as more and more local writers, directors and cinematographers are making films right here at home. These filmmakers are finding that North Carolina is home to a deep talent pool and experienced crew members. What isn’t yet in place is an infrastructure of investors and a network of distribution. The members of our panel our out to change that and we will talk to them about the present and the future for the North Carolina Film Industry.

Guests

Linnea Byer – Director of Film, The Light Factory

Aaron Syrett – Director, NC Film Commission

Joanne Hock – Director, Writer and Cinematographer, Emulsion Arts
