"KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City might be seeing more action:”lights, camera, action” that is with the help of a film office returning after a decade of having the curtain down.
Kansas City is reeling in the production business. After more than 10 years, the city’s new budget is bringing about the the re-establishment of a film office.
“We’ve fallen behind in terms of productions that should have happened here,” said Teri Rogers, the CEO and President of the production company, Hint.”When you don’t have a film office, or a person to go to, what happens is, either it falls to the film commission which is all volunteers and we all have our own jobs.”
Rogers says when Kansas City’s government sponsored film office was discontinued more than a decade ago, it caused the city to fall behind in the industry."
