BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Broward County's District 5 Commissioner Steve Geller is making sure that South Florida gets back on the list of being one of the best places to film in the nation.

Commissioner Geller will host a Broward County Film Summit on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 10AM in the Broward County Chambers, 115 S. Andrews Avenue, Room 422 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 

The Summit will feature Commissioner Geller, Broward County's Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) Director Sandy Michael-McDonald and Broward Film Commissioner Sandy Lighterman. 

Commissioner Geller proposed the agenda item to create the Broward County Film Commission, which won full approval from Broward Commissioners on November 4, 2021.  

The Broward County Film Commission is part of Broward County's OESBD which is led by Director McDonald. McDonald has been working diligently to jump start this program to accommodate the demand for film incentives.

Broward County is fortunate to also rely on the expertise of our new Film Commissioner Sandy Lighterman. She is a four-decade film and TV industry professional, capable of further creating a thriving film and television industry in Broward County.

Now that we have a new Film Commissioner and a vibrant local incentive program, we would love for you to come and meet the team and let us share what our intentions are for growing the film industry in Broward County.

At this meeting, we will be hearing remarks from Broward County District 5 Commissioner Steve Geller, OESBD Director Sandy-Michael McDonald and Film Commissioner Sandy Lighterman followed by a Q&A session for questions from the audience. (Please see attached flyer).
