A History of Florida’s Film & TV Industry

Often overlooked in its contribution to film history, Florida has played a key role in creating the modern entertainment industry.

Author and UCF professor David Morton discusses how Florida became a “third coast” to the American film and television industries over the past century. 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.

Florida Talks programs are brought to us by Florida Humanities and the Cape Coral Museum of History.
