The South Carolina Film Commission has awarded a grant of $208,000 to the Film and Television Department at Trident Technical College in Charleston.
The grant will be used to fund industry-led seminars for South Carolina students and industry professionals to elevate production skills, create a hands-on learning environment while producing a short film for competition in national film festivals, and growing the creative cluster through collaborative production initiatives.
The grant was made possible by the South Carolina Motion Picture Incentive Act passed by the General Assembly in 2005.
“Jobs in the creative economy are high-paying and help to position South Carolina for continued growth,” said Chad Prosser, director of the Film Commission’s parent agency, the SC Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Trident Tech to grow this important sector of South Carolina’s economy.”
