New Group To Oversee State’s Film Promotion

A new private-sector advisory group of seven will help oversee the film promotion activities of the Idaho Department of Commerce.

The newly created Film Industry Advisory Committee will exist as a subcommittee of the Idaho Travel Council.

“We’ve seen steady increase in the number of new residents with considerable film and TV industry experience,” Peg Crist of the department’s Idaho Film Bureau said.

The committee will meet three times annually. Representatives will serve for two years. Its members are Doug Armantrout of Micron Digital Imagery, Michael Hoffman, Bob Klosterman of Floating Feather Films, Lance Taylor of Capital City Theatre Corp., Tamara Thomson, David Butterfield of Diamond Sun Productions and Todd Corman.
