Welcome to the updated links page! When I first launched Tri-City Film, my intention was to create a site where people could find out more about their local film culture. I’ve compiled the list below as a starting point, but obviously there is more work to be done, because this list is far from all-inclusive!
If you’re making films in the area, or know someone who is, please leave a comment or send me an email with all the info, and I’ll add another link to this chain.
Click on the individual’s name, or the name of their production company to see their sites. Any links following that will lead you to a Tri-City Film article about them.
Enjoy, and prepare to bookmark!
