December 10, 20204 yr "The Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) and our President, Evan Miller, have mutually agreed to part ways," said board chairman Tim Birch in an emailed statement" 'have mutually agreed to part ways'.....sounds like there is some back story here.

January 14, 20214 yr That's awesome! That's going to be an uber-Cleveland film! There's so many locations I can spot right off the bat- the steel mills in the Flats, the little gym on Superior, the Union Trust lobby, Lakeview Cemetery...the lifeless and foreboding desert that is Avon.

HIRAM, Ohio — Get ready to spot Hollywood stars once again in Northeast Ohio. 3News has exclusively learned that the greater Cleveland area will be the site of an upcoming Netflix film starring Adam Driver ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") and Greta Gerwig ("Lady Bird") and directed by Noah Baumbach ("Marriage Story," which also starred Driver). The project is an adaptation of the novel, "White Noise" by Don DeLillo, according to IndieWire. https://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/movies/3news-exclusive-northeast-ohio-shooting-site-netflix-film-adam-driver/95-ef440b65-1773-4994-8597-75846303adff Wow... $23.8 million in Ohio tax credits?!

Marquette Williams is a Cleveland native who has been making films in California for many years now. He has the land and most of the capital stack to open a 150,000 sq. ft. film studio he plans on building which would employ about 1,000 people over the next five years. Cleveland doesn't really have a full service film studio, and so the nearby facilities would make Cleveland an appealing shoot location for a wider range of projects. The article also says that on a national level, the film industry is growing much faster than there are facilities or workforce to accommodate.
May 25, 20214 yr 33 minutes ago, X said: What's the location? Somewhere in Cleveland, or out in the suburbs? Glenville, at the end of E79th between St Clair and the railroad tracks. This could be absolutely transformational for that area. It would also be the first facility of its kind in the state, which the article notes as being strange considering all the years Ohio has had the film tax credit. We are the only state with such a credit that doesn't have permanent sound stages.

These guys have been poking around the Cleveland area for a while in an attempt to put this together. They've been meeting with all the players to get their financing together. I hope this works out for them and for Cleveland.

In 2008, Bill Garvey’s life was upended. Like many people involved in the film industry at the time, Garvey lived in New York City, where he had plans to move in with his then-fiancee (now wife). On the cusp of their move, things changed however, as his fiancee’s mother’s health took a decline. Instead of welcoming her to New York City, Garvey packed his bags and headed to Cleveland. “Sometimes you just have to roll with what life throws at you,” Garvey says. Now, 13 years and more than a dozen movies later, Garvey’s ready to usher in Cleveland’s next generation of film as the new president of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission. With over a decade of experience, Garvey has worked as a location manager in the film industry, working on films such as The Fate Of The Furious and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Here, Garvey shares his thoughts on the future of Cleveland’s film scene and what his plans are to succeed.

October 22, 20213 yr 39 minutes ago, LlamaLawyer said: The early conceptual renderings of this project look way bigger than I had imagined. Sound stages are generally very large. Think of them as very large storage containers. You need spaces to have multi cameras/stages and in some cases audiences. Construction needs to take place in X space so there has to be space for that to happen along with all the trades. Plus each building has utilities leading into it A development like this will most likely have it's own security and fire departments along with Tech and energy infrastructure. The downside, is these projects can often be a "walled garden". Once on site, you may not need to leave.
