Talk about timing! The topics for the fascinating Massachusetts Production Coalition (MPC) event held at WGBH were planned in advance of any Academy Awards results. After a season of many accolades including the prior evening’s Oscars news, boy did that gathering buzz. Conversations sparked with local names, industry folks, businesses and locales such as: Willow Rest, Pratty’s, local film folks, Gloucester Stage, Israel Horovitz, Kenneth Lonergan, local police, Rt 128, and the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce.
The two featured presentations were Legendary Entertainment’s Matt Marolda on analytics in film, followed by a Meg Montagnino-Jarrett led panel discussion on the making of Manchester by the Sea.

Great Post and what a turnout too! Remember they have lot’s of filming going on all around the cape and MA even lanes cove had action last year in Fall KC Lee Brought back some pictures of this and GMG had a few posts also signs on Duly street and I believe there was a meeting spot up on Tucker or high street?
Now Tucker street is one hill we did not go down on sleds end up in Kenny’s market or side of a car if the time was right!! is 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂
Did anyone notice the movie cover background is on the Mill River? The cast and crew rented my home while filming and may have taken that shot while on property.
