Abstract:
With the twentieth anniversary of the film Bull Durham arriving, the author can’t understand why Durham, its residents, and baseball fans love the film. The author describes why the film inaccurately portrays minor league baseball, why it is an unoriginal, poorly cast, and poorly written movie, and how the film did not represent life in Durham.

Abstract:
The history of how the Triangle area became open to art films over the last 25 years is detailed by local critic Godfrey Cheshire. Part of what helped the film scene thrive was writing about the films and the inclusion of local film festivals. The area will likely not become a popular place for filmmaking and the scene is changing with the internet and an aging movie-going population.

Abstract:
The state’s new film incentive package benefits low-budget films as much as it does Hollywood blockbuster films. The General Assembly set a low threshold for the film incentive so that the state could assist local, independent, and low budget filmmakers. This will cause more films to be produced in the state and may help keep students in the state who study at universities in North Carolina. Additionally, more jobs will be created and the industry will continue to grow.

The 1921 silent film, \"The Lost Colony Film\" has at times been as difficult to locate as the colony it depicts. Since the film was released in 1921 there have been periods of time, spanning several years, where the film was not locatable by anyone. Tom Whiteside had spent considerable time and energy locating and preserving the film for future generations.

Abstract:
North Carolina Film Office Director Aaron Syrett discusses challenges facing the regional film industry. The state legislature has approved an incentives package to help revitalize the state’s film industry, but film industry strikes are slowing production. Reality television shows have forced television movies off of the air and many of those movies were made in Wilmington, NC. Additionally, fewer television shows are being filmed in the state. Syrett does believe that NC has the potential to become a major hub for independent film making.

Abstract:
North Carolina’s film industry is booming again. Last summer, the General Assembly offered new economic incentives to lure feature film production back to the state and the move is working. Screen Gems studios in Wilmington currently has five film and TV productions filming including, The Marc Pease Experience, Bolden, Nights in Rodanthe, Cabin Fever 2, and One Tree Hill. The increase in production has also brought jobs back in the industry.

Abstract:
The state of film production in North Carolina is getting better. Direct spending on film in the state is expected to be almost six times what it was in 2010 (75 million to 450 million). Major films like The Hunger Games, Iron Man 3 and TV shows Homeland, Revenge, and Hart of Dixie are currently filming in North Carolina or plan to film in North Carolina in the next year. Wilmington and Charlotte are major film production areas. The success of the industry is credited to Governor Perdue and the legislature for offering new film incentives in 2011 which have attracted new films.
