A press conference will be held tomorrow at EUE/Screen Gems studios at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, February 19th in regards to film. Mayor Billy Saffo, Bill Vassar, Johnny Griffith, and Beth Dawson among others will be in attendance to make an announcement. What that announcement is, no one is saying! Stay tuned! I will be attending the press conference and will keep you posted!
Sooo, what do I think they are going to say? I have two theories.
1) The City/County are putting together there own “incentive packages” to entice film production here in Wilmywood.
2) That 5 % chance of Sleepy Hollow staying will pan out.
Take that with a HUGE grain of salt. Hell, a whole salt lick! I am totally guessing. What do you think the announcement will bring us? Comment below!
Hoping and praying for good news for Wilmington and all the good folks that have been negatively affected by the prior poor decision making.
I hope it turns out well.
so hoping your theory #1 is the one. We need good news for film in Wilmywood and would love for it to stay. I hate thinking of all the jobs and chances going to ATL or else where .
The crews wouldn’t have to pick-up their families and move. Many of the vendors would be able to keep their doors open. The Hotels will be full. Wilmington is the perfect place for filming with all of the Historic areas Please keep their Jobs Film=Jobs Thank you to the cast and crews and Thank you UTD for your returning to Wilmington
Keep the crews jobs and keep Wilmington the Hollywood of the east Thank you to UTD for returning for season 3 Film=Jobs
The crews and the cast deserve better than to have to move their families. Vendors need the support of tourists and Wilmington needs to remain Hollywood of the East. Thanks UTD for returning for Season 3
Hope Sleepy Hollow stays!
There is a new film series coming to Wilmington and they have qualified for a portion of the grant money. This would be smart if they are budget at over $250,000 per episode.
coming from LA, we’ll all I’ll say is good luck! I have a warm spot for Wilmington as i worked in your wonderful city while employed by Marvel films/ IM3. I say good luck because my Hollywood left Californians high, and dry! Especially these past few years. We protested, and my governor finally passed an incentive, though not perfect it’s sorta competitive. Let’s face it things will never be the same, but let’s all hope we all get a little something. I’m a 25 year film painter/traveling painter for the last 10 years.
GOODLUCK!
MCHouse reinstates ilm incentives!
