Thanks from a Filmmaker!
by Joan Bressler
Greater Philadelphia Film Office:
Thank you for your help with the parking permits and everything else you do behind the scenes that we filmmakers may or may not be unaware of. We had a great shoot during the past weekend for the 48 Hour Film Project and I think we created a really special piece of work. More information at:

Thanks again,

Supporting The New Breed of Philly Filmmaking & Filmmakers
by Joan Bressler
"I no longer live in Philly but grew up in Kensington and (if the stars align) hope to be shooting in and around my hometown this coming summer. It's reassuring to know that there are entities like the Greater Philadelphia Film Office that support genuine Philly flavored artists and stories through unique endeavors like the Greater Philadelphia Film Festival and the Set in Philadelphia Screenplay competition.
Some of us know there is so much more creativity and dramatic potential to our city than the punch drunk palooka "Yo Adrian!" persona so often unfairly forced upon the movie going public. With the continued support of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, soon the world will know that, too.
Thanks again."
Joe Nienalt, Screenwriter

An Opportunity to Thank You
by Nicole Shiner
Dear Ms. Pinkenson,
Every project I have ever had the opportunity to work on was because of what you do everyday -- in fact, I just wrapped production on an indy film last night! Without your hard work, Philadelphia may not be attracting as many films as it has. Not only do you support local filmmakers, but you have brought so many big productions to the area. As a fellow Temple alum, I appreciate and admire all of your hard work. Again, I thank you and I hope to continue finding work through the efforts of your office.
Sincerely,
Abraham O. Adegbesokun Jr.

Conversation Piece
by Nicole Ross
My uncle loved the ["Philadelphia In the Movies" Film] Tour and talked about it for a good part of the afternoon. He said that when he passes the sites in the future, he will now know what happened at each. Thanks again!

Local Filmmaker Praises Philadelphia and the Film Office
by Erin Jackson
"I'm a native of Chicago, but I spent most of my life in New Orleans and coming to Philadelphia by way of New York, I must say that I love Philadelphia. It's the 'All or Nothing' attitude of Philly that I love so much.
I admit, two years ago I was ready to go back to New York, because I'm a 'Lets do it Right Now' type of person. To me Philadelphia wasn't ready for local filmmakers to express themselves on a competitive level, but that was before I met you guys.
I must say, you have a great staff, and that is an indication of the leader, the founder and architect of the Pennsylvania Film Movement. That's you. Not the filmmakers, you have paved the way for us to do what we do here. It's easier for LA or NY to come hear and shoot, but you have made it easier for those that want this to be there base.
I thank you, and your staff!"

It is much nicer filming in Philly than Washington!
by Nicole Shiner
"Thank you for helping out with our shoot last weekend, it went well and we got everything we needed. No one seemed to mind where we were parked so we did not get a ticket that has to be sorted out!
Thanks again for your help. It is much nicer filming in Philly than Washington!"
James Reid, Granada Media
