| Project Description: |
| The establishment of a Center for High Definition Film Production & Broadcast Arts, the next generation in digital film making, would further enhance and diversify the economy in Florida, one of the State's primary goals. It would attract film makers to use state-of-the-art equipment (24fps-High Definition) for production and post-production editing. The College would provide training to students in film/motion picture, television broadcast, multimedia production, recording sciences, computer animation and related fields, thus producing a highly sophisticated workforce that, in turn would attract industry to the region and to the State. |
