Created by Chapter 5, Acts of 1980, the Office
and Council operate within the Department of
Economic and Community Development's Divi-
sion of Public Affairs to promote the production
of motion picture and television films in Mary-
land. The General Assembly's action resulted
from previous success in luring movie makers to
the State through part-time efforts connected
with the Public Affairs Division's visual commu-
nications program.
The Motion Picture and Television Develop-
ment Office prepares and distributes materials
promoting desirable film locations in the state
and provides production companies with a wide
range of logistical assistance, such as location
scouting, securing permits, casting, film crew
housing, catering, and equipment rental.
The Office has assisted in the filming of several
feature motion pictures that used Maryland loca-
tions, including "The Seduction of Joe Tynan,"
"And Justice for All," and a CBS television spe-
cial, "The Voyage of the Mayflower."
The Motion Picture and Television Develop-
ment and Advisory Council serves as an advisory
body to the Department of Economic and Com-
munity Development. The Council consists of
twelve members representing both government
and the state's television and movie industry.
Two are members of the General Assembly, ap-
|
pointed by the speaker of the House and the
president of the Senate. Ten are appointed by the
Secretary of Economic and Community Develop-
ment with the approval of the Governor and the
advice and consent of the Senate.
