JEFF LANTER TAKES THE HELM AT RALEIGH’S TRAILBLAZER STUDIOS
RALEIGH, N.C. (Jan. 4, 2017) – Jeff Lanter has been named as president of Trailblazer Studios, a North Carolina-based production company that focuses on original programming and content.
Lanter, who joined Trailblazer Studios in 2003, most recently served as vice president of Production. He helped lead the company’s shift into original programming for TV networks, including HGTV, TLC, Discovery, DIY, Animal Planet and many others.
According to Trailblazer Studios’ CEO Tom Waring, the 15-year-old company has experienced significant growth in the past five years, calling for a re-alignment of the management team to meet demand for original content. “It’s time to get out of the way and empower our very capable executive team to handle the daily operations of the company,” said Waring.
While Waring will remain in his role as CEO and CFO, Lanter as president will be directly responsible for the company’s four divisions: Trailblazer Entertainment®, Trailblazer Production®, Trailblazer Post®, and Trailblazer Sound®.
“It’s an exciting time to help lead Trailblazer Studios as we continue to deepen our relationships with networks and the creative community,” says Lanter. “We’re focused on developing and producing compelling programming and building on the successes that we’ve recently celebrated.”

Wilmington Regional Film Commission, Inc.
WILMINGTON FILM AND TELEVISION INDUSTRY
UNIFIED BEHIND EXPANDING AND IMPROVING
THE FILM GRANT PROGRAM
Wilmington, NC, February 19th - The film and television industry in Wilmington is unified in supporting the efforts of our local legislative delegation to expand and improve the film grant program created by the General Assembly last year.
The Wilmington Regional Film Commission, EUE Screen Gems Studios, City of Wilmington, New Hanover County, and the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce are working in partnership with elected officials from this region to ensure that the film and television industry remains viable and continues to support thousands of jobs in the regional economy.
The film and television grant program was created by the North Carolina General Assembly last year to replace the highly successful tax credit policy that had helped propel the thirty year statewide industry's rapid growth in recent years. We are working closely with our Representatives and Senators to increase the funding in the grant program to a level that will continue to retain our current employment and recruit new projects and the jobs they will create.
On behalf of the film and television industry and the thousands of people employed, we want to thank our local legislative delegation--particularly Representatives Ted Davis, Susie Hamilton, Frank Iler and Senators Bill Rabon and Michael Lee--for their continued support.
