FOCUS talks to Beth Petty, Charlotte Regional Film Commission Director

Focus talks to Beth Petty, Charlotte Regional Film Commission Director, North Carolina, USA

Beth what brings you and the Charlotte Regional Film Commission to FOCUS this year?
FOCUS was brought to my attention by a client from the U.K. I was told it is a fantastic event to attend for networking with business professionals and potential clients, so I decided it would be a good opportunity for the Charlotte Regional Film Commission.

With its unique combination of urban and rural, foothills and flatlands, small towns and large city locations representing the 18th century through the 21st century, the Charlotte region is like no other.

What are you hoping to get out of the event and what in particular will you be promoting at FOCUS 2018?
We are excited about the opportunity to share the story of the Charlotte region as a preferred destination for film/TV projects. With its unique combination of urban and rural, foothills and flatlands, small towns and large city locations representing the 18th century through the 21st century, the Charlotte region is like no other. Encompassing portions of both North Carolina and South Carolina, it is a 16-county area with Charlotte as the hub. Another benefit of our destination is easy and affordable access thanks to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the sixth busiest airport in the world.
