This month, the Palm
Beach County Film & Television Commission
released its 2000 Production Statistics,
reporting a record-breaking production revenue
total of $116,222,115, for a dramatic
increase of 26% over 1999.
The increase represents the largest ever reported
by the Film Commission, Palm Beach County
continues to develop and grow its own industry
through a unique and highly successful partnership
between the Film Commission, the Office
of Economic Development (OEDP), and the Palm
Beach County Business Development Board (BDB).
"Not only did Palm Beach County have its most
active year, with four feature films shot here on
location, but the most significant increase
occurred in production companies based in Palm
Beach Country. This points to the importance
of maintaining and utilizing the incentives that
the County has strategically developed to
encourage production companies to relocate into
our community," says Film Commissioner
Chuck Eldered.
Additionally,
numbers on the rise include Hotel Rooms; 12,
400 rooms booked as a direct result of film,
television or still photography production, a 12%
increase over 1999. Movies like Heartbreakers,
The Librarians, Bully, and Do You
Wanna Know a Secret?; commercials for Nike,
State Farm, Coca-Cola; still photography
shoots for People Magazine, Rolling Stone and
Vogue, not to mention
television shows and specials like MTV's Road
Rules, CourtTV, and This Old
House all infused Palm Beach County
with production dollars. Currently, 81
television programs are produced in Palm Beach
County, representing over 900 hours of
programming produced by over 26 local
production companies.
Permitting
in Palm Beach County has risen a remarkable
34%. The success that Palm Beach County
has experienced as a result of its unique
production incentives like the Studio
Construction Grant, the Product Placement
Grant and One-Stop Permitting seem
to isolate the County from the potentially
negative affects of labor strikes and runaway
production. For PBC incentive information
