Led by Talon's Steven Demmler and Tony Armer, Feather Detectives is off to a wonderful start, taking full advantage of the clear skies and beautiful weather.

Film Florida Quarterly Meetings held in Tampa, Rob Higgins awarded

Film Tampa Bay hosted Film Florida's Quarterly Meetings, held at the Tampa Convention Center on August 27 and 28. Craft Culinary Cruise offered a wonderful waterfront view and an exquisite menu for the traditional members' dinner and networking Tuesday night. 

At the Florida Governor's Conference on Tourism Luncheon on August 29, Executive Director John Lux honored Tampa Bay Sports Commission Executive Director Rob Higgins with the Legends Award on behalf of Film Florida. Rob's work in the Sports Commission has propelled Tampa forward, bringing its screen production industry along with it. After over 20 years working in and for Tampa, there is no one more deserving of this award than Rob Higgins.

Spread the joy this holiday season!

This month, Film Florida donated non-perishable goods to Feeding Tampa Bay, one of our favorite ways to ring in the holiday season! 

As the heat breaks and the holidays begin, consider donating to Feeding Tampa Bay, and other food banks in our area. Charity strengthens community and Film Tampa Bay is proud to do what we can for our county.
