Abstract:

One of the state's greatest attractions to movie makers is its geographic diversity, featuring mountains and coasts, with big cities and skyscrapers, quaint towns, and farms sprinkled in between. Filmmaking began soon after the N.C. Film Office opened in 1980. Since then over 450 films have been made that have added $5 billion to the economy.
