Friends of the Ocala Public Library and the Florida Humanities Council welcomes David Morton, presenting “A History of Florida’s Film and Television Industry” with a focus on the North Central Florida area. David is a lecturer in the Film & History Department at the University of Central Florida and a Fulbright Scholar. This presentation discusses how Florida became a third coast to the American film and television industries over the past one hundred years. Starting with the first film pioneers in Jacksonville during the 1900s and 1910s to South Florida’s television boom during the 2000s and 2010s, Florida has inspired countless exciting stories captured by the camera.
