Public Enemies

The Film Public Enemies will be filmed in Wisconsin!
Yes the years of effort of the group that is now Film Wisconsin has paid off.
Public Enemies will be film in central Wisconsin around the Baraboo area (source tells me)
There have been casting call held in Madison.
My understanding is that the buget for Public Enemies is 50 to 100 Million.
This should have a huge impact for this area bring both short term and long term benefits.
Please remeber that .50 of every dollor spend on film stays in the local area.
This area of Wisconsin (My home town) could use an influx of money.
I am very proud to have been part of Film Wisconsin since day one. In fact I was the man who called the first meeting that day in Madison.
Bounis Points to everyone who helped make this happen
Bonus bonis points to Scott Robbie and George Tzougros without their help it never would have happened.

Forward!

I had a talk with a friend of mine last week. Seams that there is an issue with the Film Workshops I do under Indy Film Wisconsin tag. My guy was unhappy that some of the presenters (who are giving up there time to present) are not to his level of professionalism. He also believes that this reflects badly on myself for if Mr X makes a fool of himself at a workshop makes me look bad too.
I am willing to take that risk, one would think with both the UW Milwaukee and MATC having film courses one of those two schools would be doing something they are not.
Or perhaps one of the "pro's" in Milwaukee would be doing something sorry no.
Guess that leaves me.
I plan to continue to present these workshops as long as I can keep folks to present and why not?
If the goal is to allow everyday Film Makers of all types to share what they know then that is the way I will do it. These workshops will allow film makers of all types too to network to see how they can help each other
If pro's like my friend do not want to come to the workshops than they will not, and we will see them at Sundance right?

So take this as an open invitation to contact me at wclingman@wi.rr.com if you wish to present at the Indy Film Wisconsin workshop.
