Sudbury entering ‘Phase One’ of thriving movie industry

Sudbury Local News: "Phase One, a Hollywood production being filmed at various locations around Sudbury, could be the first of many other movies that could provide jobs, support local business and give the city a creative edge.
This was proclaimed at a recent press conference by Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci, Mayor John Rodriguez and movie industry officials."

One of the great things about the movies is their portable ability. It is great that a movie can set up filming in a smaller town and drastically boost their economy for a few years. They stimulate jobs, make purchases in the area and if the movie become popular they could boost tourism to the area. A few months ago, I was reading an article on the green page about Props Rental Houses closing on the west coast because movies weren't made in the big studios anymore. Although this is sad for the rental houses I think it is a good thing that movies are moving more to location because they can have a bigger impact this way. Instead of just boosting the economy on the west coast now they can freely boost economies around the country.
