CLEVELAND (AP) - Jim Gelarden has been able to make a living working in an industry he loves, designing movie sets and helping plan television productions around the nation.
Seeing an established movie industry in his home state — and a chance to work in his native city — would make his job a lot sweeter. But for now, Gelarden must trade hometown dreams for good-paying gigs to the south.
"Film trucks have wheels so they can go anywhere and right now they're going where the best deals are," said Gelarden, a production designer from Cleveland whose resume includes the movie "Seabiscuit" and commercials for Pizza Hut and Nike. "And the best deals right now are in Louisiana."
