The Future of Film In the First State Breakfast Panel

​The Future of Film in the First State: Building Delaware’s Film Industry

​Join us for a timely conversation with State Representative Madinah Wilson-Anton and filmmaker Andre Wright Jr. as they discuss what it will take to strengthen Delaware’s film and creative industries.

​This panel will explore the role of public policy, economic development, workforce training, infrastructure, incentives, education, tourism, and public-private partnerships in helping Delaware attract productions and create more opportunities for local filmmakers, businesses, and residents.

​For elected officials and state leaders, this is a chance to hear directly from filmmakers about the opportunities and challenges facing Delaware’s growing creative economy — and how state and local leadership can help shape what comes next.

​We also invite attendees to stay immediately afterward and support Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton’s film during Block 1: Love, Laughter & Second Chances, from 10:00–11:00 AM, followed by a filmmaker Q&A.

​It’s a full morning centered on Delaware film, policy, and the people helping move the industry forward.
