Birmingham-Jefferson County Film Commission news
 
The Birmingham City Council voted recently to allocate $30,000 dollars toward the Birmingham-Jefferson County Film Commission but there have been some questions raised by the members of the Birmingham Film Commission as to where the previous $60,000 of the County's money has gone to. Why pay that tax money out when the information is already at hand.

Production News
 
"Heaven's Fall" is scheduled to wrap production on Saturday, October 16. Not only did they film the newsworthy story of "The Scotsboro Boys Case', but Strata Productions became somewhat of a news story themselves when they decided to stay on location in South Alabama during Hurricane Ivan and help the community. The crew used their cherry pickers to secure sheets of plywood over the windows of the historic Monroeville Courthouse and during the height of the storm donated the use of their generators to power the County's 911 call center when the electricity went out.
