How to Make a Movie in Washington D.C.
Guest Host:
Washington has long captured the imagination of movie audiences. But as filmmakers based in the D.C. area know, Hollywood producers rarely shoot in the streets of the nation's capital. The result is a dwindling local filmmaking scene and a series of movies that often portray the city inaccurately. We explore the reasons why Hollywood studios don't seem to like filming in D.C., and what the city's doing to change that dynamic.
