 Allegro
Productions, helmed by Scott and Jerome
Forman, has produced top of the line multi-media
products for an impressive list of clientele.
One of their most popular and most honored shows
is Science Screen Report (SSR) and SSR
for Kids. This multi-media educational
project is currently in its 32nd year of
production. SSR started in 1970 and has
developed into a series of videotapes and
cd-roms provided to schools free of charge. This
is possible due to the sponsorship of over 600
companies, including Fortune 500 listings.
Additionally, Allegro is in production on a
companion piece, a recycling series for
nationwide schools.
 SSR
is used in the Smithsonian Teacher Resource
Center, is listed with the Department of
Education and the Department of Energy
Resource Guides and is promoted by the Eisenhower
National Clearinghouse.

The
Old Key Lime House
Lantana, FL
|
Florida's oldest
waterfront restaurant is also one of our best
locations. The Old Key Lime House Waterfront Bar
& Grill is housed in the second oldest home in
Lantana. Located on Ocean Avenue and situated
right on the west side of the Intracoastal
Waterway, the island style décor of this historic
location beckons diners and on location
productions alike. The food is mouthwatering, and
the environment is positively delectable.
Known for its casual and accommodating atmosphere,
the Old Key Lime House has extended its
hospitality to film and television production.
Last year, the international production company
Hewland International captured the one of a kind
spot for the BBC episodic Daylight
Robbery 2.
Just this month, the Old Key Lime House threw open
its vibrant doors for the Spirit of Production Fam
Tour. For more information on this film friendly
location, call 561-582-1889.

Features are
flocking to PBC! This month, three major
feature film projects seriously scouted Palm
Beach County locations for projects slated to
begin production in early 2002. Although the
films will remain nameless until the final
decisions are made, right now, PBC is top
choice for several key locations. Stay tuned
for future updates!
Television
Suisse Romande utilized many locations in
Palm Beach County for the upcoming season of
its popular crime television series. This
particular installment featured famed
litigator F.Lee Bailey and featured scenes
from the PBC Courthouse, Flagler Dr. and West
Palm Beach.
News from
Capital Hill...House Bill 3131 was
introduced this month. It is the companion
bill to Senate Bill 1278. This legislation
supports the entertainment industry. Contact
your representatives and profess your support.
| Correction:
In the Sept. edition of Focus on
Film, the caption incorrectly
identified the location as Sailfish
Marina. In fact, Palm Beach Shores Mayor
Thomas Mills and Representative Jeff
Atwater filmed CBS's Early Show promo at
Cannonsport Marina. |
