"What can the Army do for a film producer?"
They will show how with the proper approach the Army can,
1. Act as a local, authoritative source of information about the US Army, providing authentication, verification and limited research for producers, directors, writers, property masters, wardrobe supervisors, film editors, etc.
2. Provide assistance and advice to scriptwriters during initial writing phases; review rough drafts or treatments and suggest changes prior to script finalization.
3. Arrange for and coordinate the use of Army equipment and supplies not commercially available.
4. Coordinate requests for US Army stock footage.
5. Arrange for and coordinate with Army installations or properties for location filming.
6. Coordinate requests for personal appearances of US Army personnel.
This will be an exceedingly informative seminar for both producers, film commissioners and film professionals.
