A $100 bucks or an old light meter to the person who guesses what films these slates came from as part of Heather's 25+ year stash working in the camera department! Good Luck and no cheating on IMDB. 😬

🌍🎥 Happy World Tourism Day!!! 🎥🌍 And we're especially excited about the fun and rapidly growing sector of tourism—Film Tourism! 🎬✈️   Ever wonder why you’re drawn to visit those iconic places you’ve seen on the big screen? It’s no coincidence! Films and TV shows don’t just tell incredible stories—they bring places to life and spark a connection that makes us want to experience them in real life. 📸 From small towns transformed into movie backdrops to stunning landscapes starring in epic blockbusters, Film Tourism is turning hidden gems into must-see destinations. This unique blend of entertainment and travel is a powerful way for communities to attract visitors, create jobs, and celebrate their local history. Here are three reasons why Film Tourism is taking off:    🎞️ Nostalgia with a Twist – Fans love visiting the actual spots where their favorite characters walked, talked, and lived out their adventures. It’s a way to step into the story and feel part of the magic! ✨   🌎 Showcasing Local Culture – Films offer a glimpse into the heart of a place. From food to folklore, people visit to experience the unique flavors they see on screen.   💡 New Opportunities for Communities – You don’t need to host a major blockbuster to get in on the action! From documentaries to indie films, every piece of media can shine a spotlight on your town. At ShineCo Academy, we’re passionate about helping communities unlock their potential for Film Tourism! 💫 Whether you're a seasoned pro or just curious about how films can turn your town into a destination, our course, (launching in October) can help you discover the hidden treasures of your area and leverage them for economic growth. 💼💡 Let’s make your community the next must-see stop on the map! 🗺️🎬 #WorldTourismDay #FilmTourism #ShineCo #ShineCoAcademy #TourismGrowth #CreativeEconomy #DestinationMarketing #EconomicDevelopment #FilmIndustry
