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.

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:
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.
