Creating an Ecosystem for the Film Industry

Creating support systems for growing business sectors is not just limited to the tech startup community. In this panel, we will take a look at how Philadelphia is taking a shot at LA and NYC film and tv production industries. With the abundance of channels to stream new content - ie. Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. - there is more opportunity and demand than ever before for cities to grow their film economies. What are the key ingredients for successful, burgeoning film industry in cities who are trying to break into this? And what are the economics which make it worthwhile to make the investments.
