Florida Matters “Film Industry” (First aired January 4, 2008)
State officials are hoping more car chases and boy-meets-girl stories are filmed in Florida. The hope is big screen exposure can diversify the economy and boost the state's image with national and international audiences. But does Florida have the workers? And is the state typecast on the silver screen? Join us this week as we look at the film industry. Listen now
Guests: Laura Griggs and Laura Tierny - Co Founders of the Independents' Film Festival
Susan Fernandez and Robert Ingalls - Authors, Sunshine in the Dark: Florida in the Movies
