The Newport Business Association hosted its Annual Awards Meeting and Installation of the Board of Directors on Thursday, February 20th at the Newport Syndicate with over 140 attendees.
The theme was “A Nite With The Starz” with a review of the many movies filmed in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area, thanks to the 30-year plus history of Film Cincinnati.
Guest speaker, Kristen Schlotman – Executive Director Film Cincinnati, reminded attendees of the positive economic impact the filming industry brings to our region every time a movie is made in our Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Region. She assured everyone more movies are in the works – looking forward to hearing “lights – cameras – action and it’s a wrap” on the streets of Newport.
