THE END OF A TRULY INDEPENDENT VIDEO STORE
Digital killed the video store. It's just the latest chorus in the continuing rewrite of the entertainment industry's tune, and it's one we've all heard after Blockbuster's bankruptcy auction earlier this year.http://www.vancouversun.com/truly+independent+video+store/5277688/story.html
FILM INCENTIVES FADE IN NEARBY WASHINGTON
Washington lawmakers opted not to extend the state's film incentives program in the most recent legislative session. It seems, however, that this decision, though disappointing to some, will have little impact on local filmmakers.http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/aug/20/film-incentives-fade/
FILM COMMISSION WANTS NANAIMO TO RENEW ITS SUPPORT FOR INDUSTRY
With a big-budget Hollywood flick set to film in Nanaimo this fall, the Vancouver Island North Film Commission is calling on the city to renew its support of the film sector. Nanaimo ran a film office for four years until 2006, when the city discontinued funding because there wasn't enough interest from producers to shoot in the area.http://www.canada.com/Film+commission+wants+Nanaimo+renew+support+industry/5283277/story.html
