January 2009 Breakfast Forum Series

"You Oughta Be In Pictures" – Join Massachusetts Film Office Executive Director, Nick Paleologos for an interesting discussion on the growing filmmaking industry right here in the Commonwealth. Massachusetts was one of the first states to establish an official state film office in 1979. Since then, the Massachusetts Film Office has welcomed over eighty feature filmmakers to the Bay State — including Norman Jewison, Sydney Lumet, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, and Martin Scorsese.

In July of 2006, the state placed the new Film Office along side the Massachusetts Sports Partnership under the umbrella of the Massachusetts Sports and Entertainment Commission, a private non-profit organization charged with the responsibility of attracting major sporting and entertainment events to the Commonwealth. Some of the most notable films recently made were 21, Pink Panther Deux and Gone Baby Gone.

Mission Oak Grill, 26 Green Street, Newburyport
