About PrimoSpot

“After living in Manhattan for years and racking up several hundred dollars of parking tickets, the site creator decided there must be a better way. After asking other drivers what their methods were, we heard that a few people were keeping hand-drawn maps in notebooks in their cars. As a programmer, he decided to create the map online. He opened the site to allow people to add their own streets and neighborhoods, and in June 2007, PrimoSpot was born.”

    CT Film Commissioner Suspended

    This interesting newspaper editorial article came my way via my email inbox via The Hartford Courant and Google Alerts wherein the Courant calls on the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism to clarify its placing Film Commissioner Heidi Hamilton effective August 21st.

    The problem seems to involve questions of internal policy matters at CT state government levels and I would presume (or would at least hope) that the matter is under review by an authority in the CT state government in a position to decide who followed or mis-followed policy.

    In the meantime, tho I have not personally dealt with the CT Film Office lately, Ms. Hamilton is likely sorely missed by the film production industry specifically with regard to productions with potential to film in CT.

    Ms. Hamilton has been very innovative in attracting new film production business to the state by way of considerable tax breaks and other film office services available to filmmakers.

    Steve Knee Interview at BizBash

    Steve Knee Interview at BizBash via Google Blogs Alerts

    Steven Knee, a long-time New York City location scout, was recently interviewed by online event planning resource portal, BizBash.

    Somewhere in the foggy cobwebs of my mind I think Steve and I may have met or spoken at one time, but it would have been some time back and I am not sure he would remember, either.

    In any case, Steve is a fairly well-known area location scout and member of ALSAM and gives good interview about his job as a New York City location scout and location manager!
