New Film Office Manager Is Known Now

I was all set to file yet another report about how the Iowa film office is likely to finally get an ample amount of money allocated for its budget (which is true), and that Jay and I talked to several legislators again today and with the governor's director of the office of management and budget (also true), but now I'm just going to say that the name of the new IFO manager will very likely be announced as early as tomorrow and that the names of our two top choices will not be uttered in that announcement. 

Today we were told by someone in very high authority that the film office will most likely focus on local projects, rather than bigger movie making activity.  Speaking for Jay and myself, we hope that whoever is named to head the IFO will work towards the  resumption of movie work for creative Iowans, even though such work will most likely be industrial films and commercials.

Thank you to Senator Bill Dotzler and Rep. David Deyoe.  You two have done so much to get funding for the film office and you were always there to speak with us and support us and the film industry here.
