This afternoon Governor Bev Perdue visited EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington to announce she’s including $1 million in her upcoming budget proposal to meet the state’s growing film industry needs. WHQR’s Sara Wood reports the proposed funds will be used to develop 10 new workforce training programs at one community college in Winston-Salem, and here in Wilmington at Cape Fear Community College.

Perdue says programs will last on average five weeks, training as many as 400 people each session. She says with the film tax credit, the state has been successful at production recruitment but weak when it comes to supplying local crews.
