SARASOTA, FL - July 15, 2007 - atLarge, Inc., an award-winning interactive agency, has been chosen to redevelop the Sarasota County Film & Entertainment Office Web site. The new project will connect Sarasota County locations with film producers world-wide. In addition, the site will also enable local film production resources such as actors and stylists to add themselves to an interactive production directory so location scouts can contact them directly as needed.
No other film office Web site offers the level of interactivity and connectivity proposed in this project. atLarge, Inc. was selected after a rigorous review process among several vendors because as Sarasota County Film and Entertainment Office Director Jeanne Corcoran said "atLarge has the right mix of creative and administrative, artistic and practical, business and art, technology and vision. They latched right onto the concepts we expressed, grasping the big picture. atLarge, Inc. 'gets it' - their ability to understand and comprehend what our goals - our hopes and dreams - were for our Web site was extraordinary."
Kathy Baylis, President of the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County, which oversees the Sarasota County Film and Entertainment Office added, "Diversifying our region's economy is now more critical than ever and attracting film production and related activities to the area are an important part of those economic development efforts. This project will not only allows us to showcase our community's many assets to the world-wide film production community, but will also engage local film professionals in our efforts."
