Philly Spotlight: GPFO Rally to Un-cap PA Tax Credit
Recap: Rally for the Philadelphia Film Industry By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Tinsel & Tine The Greater Philadelphia Film Office is keeping track of movies and television shows that were meant to shoot here, and didn’t.

DIRTY DANCING: Win T&T Interview with Jennifer Mealani Jones
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Film to Stage Post: DIRTY DANCING The Classic Story Returns to Philly May 16 – 21 at the Merriam Theater! I’m really looking forward to seeing the Kimmel Center Broadway stage adaptation of Dirty Dancing, some movies are hard to picture going from the screen to live theater, but I think this one will lend itself. And great timing as the movie is celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary! So sad we lost Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s real nose since the musical romantic drama took the box office by storm back in 1987, and became a beloved favorite for subsequent generations. For me, it’s not quite…
