Sharon Pinkenson is lauded in Philadelphia for her efforts to attract Hollywood productions. She is credited with bringing Academy-award winning film Philadelphia and The Sixth Sense to Philly, generating lots of buzz in Hollywood about the locale and plenty of revenue for local businesses.
In a recent interview, Pinkenson said:
The film industry is (an) increasingly lucrative (thing) for government to em-brace. We already have a reputation as the most cooperative and film-friendly city in the business. Having these tax incentives adds to our attraction. Right now, we’re looking at applications for six to eight films to begin in June, and more to follow."
Pinkenson’s interview was also accompanied by a list of upcoming films being shot in Philadelphia, including
Remorse, Three Sistas, Avatar, and “possibly”
Transformers 2.
