FiveSprockets™ Announces New Film Commissions Database

USA (SANEPR.com) April 23, 2009 -- San Diego, Calif. (Mar 17, 2009) – A pioneering force in scripted-media development and production, FiveSprockets™ today unveiled a new Film Commissions Database and numerous additions to its comprehensive media-studies glossary.
“In addition to the web-based software that the FiveSprockets platform offers, we are continually rolling out new educational and knowledge resources for our users,” said Randy Ullrich, CEO of FiveSprockets. The new Film Commissions Database, accessed from FiveSprockets “Resources” area, includes listings for over 130 film commissions around the world. Each listing includes contact information for the film commissions, the incentives offered in the area, and comments from users about the film commission. “Knowing what incentives are offered by different filming regions can often influence where productions get shot. And having one place to review incentives – along with user comments and reviews of various commissions – provides a very valuable service for our users,” added Ullrich.
The Film Commissions Database joins a growing roster of informational resources offered by the site. In parallel with the new Film Commissions Database, FiveSprockets more than quadrupled the number of terms available in its comprehensive media-studies glossary. From “Apple Box” to “Martini Shot”, you can find full definitions with examples of the varied and often obscure terms used on-and-off set in the Media & Entertainment industry.
