Film Office Updates & News
1. Hot
Topic of the Month. The Film
Office receives numerous inquiries from student filmmakers and emerging
filmmakers about how to "get in the biz". A valuable resource for
students and instructors is the Student Filmmaker Magazine and
associated website, www.studentfilmmakers.com. In fact, even for the
professional filmmaker, some of the information available on this website may
prove useful.
2. Community
/ Industry Relations / Office Development. The Film Office was asked to give a
presentation to 7th and 8th graders of Mason, Lincoln, and Wayne Counties
enrolled in the Heart of Appalachia Educational Talent Search Program at
Marshall University during its June 8-10 career camp. The presentation focused
on careers in the filming industry that are different than the usual well-known
positions of director, editor, etc. Helpful materials/resources were also
distributed to the students. For more information about the program, visit www.marshall.edu/em/trio/talentsearch.
3. Miscellaneous
News. The Premiere
Committee for the Warner Bros. film "We Are Marshall" is
hard at work planning for a gala event like no other the state has ever seen.
The tentative date of the state premiere is October 25 or 26 in Huntington, but
that could easily change even as close to a few weeks before the event. The
committee is working in conjunction with Warner Bros. and must abide by
numerous policies for such a special affair. Stay tuned for additional
information from the Film Office and Marshall University. It is worth noting
that in April, Marshall University released a report, "The Economic
Impact of Marshall University" (prepared by MU's Center for Business
and Economic Research), which includes a brief section about the film and
direct spending of Warner Bros. while filming in Huntington. It is estimated
that nearly $3 million was spent directly during the movies production, with
an additional $250,000 spent by the cast and crew for food and entertainment.
The report concludes that the direct spending of $3.25 million created
additional economic benefits to Huntington and the surrounding area resulting
in total spending in excess of $4.6 million. To read the report, visit www.marshall.edu/cber/research/MU_Impact_Study_final.pdf.
