Star Productions, in conjunction with The
Mimi Group LLC, has produced a national
30-minute television special to air in July on
the Outdoor Life Network that will focus
on America's passion for fitness. Producer
Brooks Parsons, Jr. took crews on location for a
4-day, 4-camera shoot at The 3rd Annual Paul
Mitchell Miami Beach Sport & Fitness
Festival. The event has never previously
been televised. The television show, hosted by
Kate Milliken will promote fitness as a
lifestyle.

Palm
Beach County Schools
West Palm
Beach, FL
|
|
This summer many Palm
Beach County schools have filled their empty halls
with production. While students tried to forget
their multiplication tables and lounged on the
beach, lights and cameras, producers and directors
took advantage of some of the best locations in
the County.
Schools like William
T. Dwyer High School provided the background
for Sports Authority's latest print ad. The
lecture hall of Palm Beach Lakes High School
was transformed into a newsroom for KidsScienceNewsNetwork,
a NASA program produced by Intramedia Productions
in WPB. Later this month, Northmore Elementary
classrooms will set the stage for a Phoenix
Financial Group commercial.
Nat Harrington,
Chief Public Information Officer of Palm Beach
County Schools says, "Schools belong to
everyone. We are good corporate citizens with the
ability and the resources to help many businesses,
including production companies. We are open to the
idea of production in the public buildings and, as
such, have been able to balance being
film-friendly with protecting our students."
This balance has tipped the scales in favor of the
schools.

Scottish
Trade Mission to Tour PBC Production Companies |
|
The STAR (Scottish
Technology and Research) Center, as part of
the Scottish Economic Development Agency's
aggressive plan to assist Scottish companies in
globalization, is looking at South Florida for
possible partnerships with U.S. based production
companies. Scotland is promoting their creative
industries and has established an incubator in
Orlando. Diane Allen, Star Center Business
Development Executive, is focusing on the
Southeast United States, but specifically Florida.
"Sometimes, productions and projects in
Scotland find that they do not have the location,
my goal is to say Florida is here," she says.
"Many Scottish companies have felt that they
had to go to Los Angeles or New York to satisfy
their production needs. My mission is to provide
them with information and encourage them to choose
Florida." For more information, please visit
the Star Center's website: www.scottishtechnology.com. |
