NC Film This is a grassroots campaign to rally support for the continued success of the film and television Be concise, but keep it real. So, let’s get this going!!

This is a grassroots campaign to rally support for the continued success of the film and television industry in the great state of North Carolina and to put an end to the “Sunset” by keeping the NC film incentives indefinitely. There will be a series of “Call to Action” videos relating to every level of what is needed to inform the state legislators to continue to support this industry. The first

“Call to Action” video (above) is to rally the thousands of crew members across the state. These would include workers in the following departments: electricians, transportation, grips, greens, paint, plaster, special fx, visual fx, office staff, locations, props, set decorators, accounting staff, production assistants, caterers, craft service providers, AD department, Art department, background actors, etc. The second ”Call to Action” video will be to rally the vendor support which would include but not limit: car rental agencies, hotels, consignment shops, antique stores, rental property, heavy equipment (cranes, condors, generators, etc.), truck rentals, sound equipment, tent rentals, trailer rentals, picture car rentals, copier and print shops, office supply companies, office equipment, fabric stores, lumber, hardware, metal suppliers, furniture stores, gas companies (propane, diesel, unleaded fuel), local off duty police officers, caterers, real estate, landscaping and plant nurseries, restaurants, shipping providers, internet and cable providers, etc. The third “Call to Action” video will be to rally voters that are affected by direct spending from the films and television shows across the state through tourism, local “mom & Pop” shops, restaurants, bed and breakfast, hotels, etc… Anything that is touched and affects the local economy. THE GUIDE LINES FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND OR EMAILS:

Making your video is simple. Use a video camera, Smartphone or your we**am on your laptops or tablets. Please keep it under two minutes preferably 60 seconds or less. This is not a left or right issue so please keep politics out. This is about jobs and keeping North Carolina’s economy healthy, so keep it positive. This is putting a North Carolina voter’s face to your email which will have a stronger impact in getting your message across. Your videos and or emails should include:

1. Who you are and what county you are in, how the film industry affects you and your love ones’ livelihood and that you are a voter. You might want to include how it would affect you if the film industry leaves NC. Most importantly, tell them you want an end to the “Sunset” and to keep the NC film incentives indefinitely.

2. Make sure you select the legislators in your county when emailing. Make sure to include your name and address in the email, but NOT your video.

3. If you choose to make a video, upload it to YouTube and begin your title with “NC Film.” Make sure to copy/paste the YouTube link in your email. Let us know that you made your video and what county you are in. Post your link to the video in the comment section below. If you know someone who would like to help but does not have access to internet or video, get them to call their legislators!

2023 is off to a great start with Nickelodeon's already filming sequel "Zoey 102".

We are hearing Warner Bros. might be bringing a new 18 episode series, as well as a project from NBC / Universal's streaming platform Peacock. Rumors of an additional tv pilot and several feature films.

Amazon's return of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" for season three mid 2023, as well as fingers crossed for another season of "Welcome to Flatch" for Hulu / Fox.

What does all this mean???? Glad you asked.

The NC Film family is sad to share the news that Property Master Richard "Petie" Waldrop passed away this morning due to a hard fought battle with multiple health issues.

Petie was not only a Property Master, but an accomplished life long picker in the local music scene who played out with many talented musicians over the years.

Our hearts go out to Petie's family and friends at this time.

Petie's film career started in 1983 and continued for decades up until 2014. He was the life of the party, never met a stranger, and will be truly missed.

Take a minute to look at his IMDb and see all the amazing films that he worked on throughout his career.

Our NC Film family is heartbroken to announce the passing of transportation coordinator Ty Church.

Ty had recently retired from the NC film industry to SC.

Ty worked in law enforcement before switching to film and tv. His career as a film crew member started in 1985 with King Kong Lives and went on to work for decades on projects such as "We're the Millers", "Good Behavior", "Under the Dome" "The Conjuring" and "Dawson's Creek" to name a few.

A self-proclaimed curmudgeon with a dry sense of humor and wit. Ty was also an actor and writer. He was loved by many and will be truly missed.
