Film Florida celebrates its 25th anniversary
With a longstanding reputation of being the hub for film professionals looking to work in the state, Film Florida celebrated its 25th anniversary last month. Providing memberships for individuals and companies, the organisation has helped a wide range of industry professionals navigate the film, television and digital media sector.
“I am honored to be the President when the organization reaches such a special milestone. Being a volunteer-based organization is challenging as everyone has responsibilities outside the organization, and to sustain and grow over 25 years is a true testament to the members that have made up Film Florida,” Gail Morgan, President of Film Florida said. “Some of the founding members of Film Florida are still very active in the organization today. The vision that started this organization 25 years ago is never forgotten and is still very strong due to the leadership of those that saw the need and continue to give their time, energy and effort to an industry that is part of the fabric of the state of Florida.”
