Big Screen Boston

Iwas just in a borders bookstore today and as I was leaving I saw a book which I should have picked up called.......oh my god I forgot! Great, I will let you know when I find out the title, but it's all about movies that have been filmed in boston! It is such a great book because it tells you about all the movies that have been filmed here and all the hub bub that came along with the productions. I should have picked it up but I was in a rush, skimmed right through it and I was like WOW! I can't believe I forgot the title but it was something like backdrop boston or something like that, when I go back to that book store and pick it up and let you know the title.. It would be a book I am sure all of you will love. I REMEMBER It's "Big Screen Boston" PICK IT UP!

Gorilla Marketing to film jobs...

Hello all! First of all I want to say a huge thank you for those who enjoyed our new weekly podcast, I'm glad you all enjoy it. So today I got an email indicating that person claims there is no work in film,theater,crew, etc. My reply is that that is incorrect.... There is plenty of jobs you just have to look harder. I know there are constant auditions going on for commercials, industrials, short films, student films, etc. What you need to do is some gorilla marketing for yourself aka "beating the pavement". If you don't do this as in with any other business you will see nothing, jobs do not fall from trees. As far as crew..criegsli, tv studios,etc. Granted they might not be high paying jobs but your getting your foot in the door..

Studios...Studios..We might be surrounded by more!

I know the ecconomy right now is in an all time LOW.. But we must say we are fortunate as to what is happening in our industry here in Mass. First of all Plymouth Rock Studios is just amazing, a first for the industry, and most importantly will bring aprox. 2000 jobs into the state. Second...Weymouth.. this has been quiet as of late but I truly believe that this will be a green light in the near future and if it does get it...stand back NY! There is also rumor about Stoneham and othe possible locations in MA for "mini studios" which is also so another bright spot. So with that being said lets start looking towards the future because the light at the end of this tunnel is going to be very bright.
