The election is over, and it's time to welcome the new guard. Florida voters elected a slew of new legislators. For a comprehensive list and breakdown county by county, go to http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/.
Now that November 4 has come and gone, it's not time to stop delivering our unified message to help build our state's film industry. It's the best time to educate our freshman and re-educate the incumbents about what our industry has done and can do for economic stimulus.
Our new Fact Sheet for Florida's Film, Entertainment and Digital Media Industries can help you deliver the message. READ THIS INFORMATION. LEARN IT. Then deliver it to your local legislator. PERSONALIZE IT with your own story about why this industry is vital to you and your family, as well as our state.
Learn when your county delegation meets and ATTEND -SPEAK OUT ABOUT YOUR NEEDS!
You'll notice there isn't a specific 'ask' yet in this material. We are still working with legislators and theGovernor's office to determine the specifics of what legislation needs to be created, including the amount andtype of the incentive. When that's decided, we'll issue an updated Fact Sheet with that info.
But we can'twait to deliver this message to our legislators:
OUR INDUSTRY IS A PROVEN REVENUE-ATTRACTOR; ONE THAT CAN AND SHOULD BE A PART OF ANY STIMULUS PLAN TO BRING FLORIDA OUT OF ITS ECONOMIC DECLINE.
Let's all continue delivering this message. Today. This fact sheet will help you prove to them our industry's importance to Florida, so they can see it aspart of the SOLUTION to Florida's economic problems.
Let's all work together to deliver this message: Our industry and our incentive program can be part of the solution for revitalizing Florida's economy!
The sheet is available at our website, www.flimflorida.org and we encourage you to download.

Recommendations for Equipping the Student Sound Stage:
Contributed by Stephen H. Burum, ASC
www.theasc.com
I was very lucky when I was a student at UCLA in the late fifties and early sixties. We had a small sound stage that was a miniature version of a 20th Century-Fox stage, it had wooden catwalks where we could place our lighting units. I learned over the years that this system was by far the easiest and fastest way to light.
I have watched my crews struggle with dead hung pipes, fancy motorized grids, and jury-rigged truss systems. While for special applications, some of these systems work well, they all have a basic drawback. If you want to hang or adjust a lamp, you must clear the areas beneath the lamp, move in a ladder or lift, adjust the lamp, then replace the furniture and props before you can proceed. If you clamp the lamps to the top of the walls, every time you move a wall, you have to relight.
We all know that making pictures is not a cheap undertaking. Neither is the teaching of this subject. To teach drawing, all you need in the way of supplies is paper and pencil. Movies, WOW!
Professional stages for making dramatic features come in every shape and size. Most of them fall within some helpful parameters that will serve as our guide. The medium stage is about 100' by 150' and up to 40' high. It is sound proof, has a wood floor, and heating, cooling, and exhaust fan systems. They also have a grid system of very heavy wood and steel beams to support sets and the lighting cat walks, called beds, greens or decks. Above this grid is a working space of eight to ten feet. A large cargo door is used to get equipment and sets in and out. Small stages run 75' by 100' and 20' to 24' high. Really big stages 200' by 300', 40' to 70' high. The ratio of length to width in these examples is 1 to 1.5. In the real world this ratio can be as little as 1.3 to as big as 3 to 1. You will find very few square stages.
Our teaching stage will be 50' by 75', 20' high. Why so high? A standard hard flat for movies is 10' high. You need room above the flat for the catwalk, lamps and a person to walk. The catwalk should be 6" to 18" above the flats so you can move them around without hitting the beds. Seven feet for a person to work. Two to three feet to hang the catwalk. If you use a dead hung pipe system you could get away with 16 feet, but what a pain.

Mr. McLeavy is mourning the death of his wife. His son, Hal, in cahoots with an undertaker named Dennis, burglarizes the bank next door to the funeral parlor. When an unethical Conan Doyle-esque detective named Truscott starts snooping around, Hal and Dennis decide to stash the loot in Mrs. McLeavy's coffin. Since both body and booty can't fit there, they must move the corpse, setting in motion the play's trademark dilemma of what to do with the body next.

The play centers on a peace-loving, poetry-spouting, tea-drinking dragon who is befriended by a young village boy and together with the dragon-slaying Saint George they teach the villagers that not all dragons are fearsome. Most enjoyed by ages 5 & up.

Duende OUTREACH
http://www.duendedance.org./
Duende Dance Theater believes that dance can be a tool for learning, for individual expression, and for healing. So far, Duende dancers have visited the Peachtree Plantation in Commerce, GA, and the GMAAC center for refugee children, and several tour stops for the Emory Dance On Tour class of Emory University. For two springs running Amanda Exley Lower has had the privilege of leading the Emory Dance Program’s Emory Dance On Tour. Visiting the Atlanta Women’s Day Shelter, the Sunrise Assisted Living Center of Decatur, Our House, Inc, Absolute Wellness, the Atlanta Youth Detention Center, and many more, the dancers shared their program titled World in Motion and then invited each group to dance with them.
Duende hopes to inspire children to want to dance, but also to invite all ages to find freedom and joy through moving. If you are interested in Duende coming to visit your community with dance classes or a program, please contact us. We would love nothing more than to come dance with you!
Last September, ADTC donated $1000 raised by 2007 campers who participated in the "World Dance Company" to ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty). ASTEP is a non-profit organization that uses the arts as a tool to empower young people with creativity, knowledge, and a strong sense of self-esteem, factors which help them advance their lives and communities. ASTEP seemed a likely fit for ADTC's donation - they actually offer camp programs in communities with populations of disadvantaged children who have limited access to arts education. Topics covered range from self-empowerment and positive future-building to HIV/AIDS awareness. Artists from all over the globe, including recent and current Julliard, New York University, Miami University and Furman students, Broadway professionals, and local talent serve as volunteer teachers for ASTEP. Each ASTEP experience caters to the needs of the particular community it works in. Every workshop or camp centers on a new theme that challenges the children and the volunteers to find fresh and exciting ways of further developing essential life skills that will help these youths deal with the difficult circumstances that surround them.
ADTC's dance training camps are open to girls ages 8 - 17. Dancers of all levels and disciplines are welcome - no prior dance experience is necessary to attend
