Скачать или смотреть 'Cinema City' movie studio being planned for Cleveland's east side by LA filmmaker now back home

Hollywood on the North Coast.

Local film industry leaders have been dreaming about it for decades.

They have made progress toward that goal through the creation of a local film commission and tax credits for moviemakers, which have helped land such big productions as the “Avengers,” “Fast and Furious,” as well as numerous lower budget films including “Judas and Black Messiah.”

But holding back the region from becoming a film and television production hub has been the lack of studio space – and a workforce with experience in the moviemaking trades.

Marquette Williams, a Clevelander who went to Los Angeles to make films, is now pointing his viewfinder at his hometown. The 48-year-old director, who now lives in Shaker Heights with his family, has been quietly producing a plan to build a studio with sound stages on the city’s east side that will double as a hands-on film school.
