The Annual Film Florida Meeting took place June 6th through June 8th at the Italian Club in Tampa, Florida. Film Florida is an organization based in Florida that acts as the prominent hub of the entertainment industry in Florida.

The first day of the event included Funding 101, a panel that discussed how feature films are funded. The panelists scheduled to appear included representatives from Ring Productions, Fresh Produce Films, Fingerman and Macke, and Skyway Capital Investments. Other sessions that day included events discussing the ways to pitch film plans and how to gain the resources needed to fund film projects.

The host of the event, the Film Florida organization, is a non profit that supports local film production in the state. They work closely with the Florida Film Office, a branch of the state government. The Florida Film Office’s website is www.filminflorida.com. That site offers a number of great resources such as information on Florida state production incentives and shooting locations.
