Film Industry Development

Film Industry Development

Ecoledge has launched the Pocono Film Initiative to attract the film industry to Northeastern Pennsylvania.  We are implementing a three prong approach which involves a workforce initiative to train our local workforce for crew positions, a infrastructure development plan to build studios and post production facilities allowing the region to capture up to 80% of the film budget, and a international marketing plan for the region.

Working closely with Workforce Wayne and higher education partners, our workforce plan includes developing programs in Film Technology.  Two programs under development include Packaging Your Business or Service for the Film Industry and a Production Assistant Training Program.  To learn more, visit www.poconofilm.org.
