Film commission

Had a short film in there.

And another film related thing is that the Fort Worth Film Commission has been rolling out the red carpet for Oscar qualifying films.

So this is a program that they started last year.

I actually got to shoot the promo video for it.

O sea que de julio, agosto, septiembre, octubre, tres meses atrasados y todavía no ha pasado nada y la industria de cine son más de diez mil familias puertorriqueñas.

Se supone que el Film Commission, que es la división de cine del Departamento de Desarrollo Económico y Comercio, que antes se llamaba la Corporación de Cine de Puerto Rico, reparta estos treinta y ocho millones de dólares en créditos contributivos para el cine en Puerto Rico.

Son treinta y ocho millones que se entregan al año el mes de julio.

Estamos a 27 de octubre y no ha pasado nada.

In July, Abu Dhabi's Film Commission put out a press release about Dune, Part 3.

The shoot had lasted 31 days in the Emirate, two of them in Al Ain.

It was the third of Denis Villeneuve's Dune films to shoot in the Emirate, whose desert had a long life of its own before Hollywood found it.

I went looking for that number, and for the same number anywhere else in the region, and spent the better part of a week finding out that it almost never exists in public.

I got there sideways.

I'd been reading about the region's cultural institutions, museums and arts funds mostly, and film commissions kept turning up as the strangest of them.

Cultural bodies that spend real money competing with each other.

Crystal Lake is streaming now on Peacock.

It's also part of the Film Commission's new Spooky Season Trail that fans can use for self-guided tours.

The complete New Jersey 101.5 forecast is coming up.

And then by the end, it was like, impossible just the whole thing came such a blowout and I think it was always a fight between and then of course Governor Cox is has some difficult politics for the arts so yeah I don't blame Sundance at all I support the move and I'm excited to see what it's like in the in their new home

whoever runs the Utah Film Commission is going to listen to this episode and then see you somewhere around, Kenny, and be like, Kenny, I can't believe you said

that.

No, I love everyone at the Film Commission, actually.

It's a little known tourist attraction and a little part of that you don't know about me.

is that I worked some stuff with the film commission and the tourism bureau in Tennessee.

And so we're trying to put this thing on the map more so because people come to Broadway, the bachelorettes and whatever, and they don't know what to do with themselves during the day before the lights go on and they can start getting their drink on.

But this place is amazing.

It's called hideawayfarm.com. You can check it out.

And as soon as they no longer need to be armed, they throw down that armor, walk over it, and pretend it never existed and that the cause was one alone.

You just described why I left the film commission.

Listen, I ain't have no bets going on or nothing, but I knew from our very coded... clandestine conversations, that probably would not be long lived.

But tell me if I'm right.

So the good thing is it's on the books.

It is state law.

It is the law that the Film Commission can hold back 4% of a project's tax incentives if they don't make good faith efforts.

It's a law.

Welcome back.

As promised, our second guest today is Kelly Hyatt, and she's with the St. Louis Film Commission.

I guess that's the

official title.
