Since it was sparked by Firestarter back in 1983, Wilmington s film industry has seen its fair share of up and down years.
Based on the number of projects already completed, in production or expected to film in the Wilmington area in the coming months, 2021 will be no doubt be remembered as an up year. In fact, Wilmington s film industry could see its highest level of activity in nearly a decade or more. That s what we re expecting, said Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission.
Four film or TV projects have already wrapped this year. Netflix film Along for the Ride started shooting last week, and TV series George and Tammy is in pre-production.
