Missy Crutchfield earning her keep?

Apparently, she is over Chattanooga Film Commission.
Since she gained that title, Water For Elephants, Leather Heads, Will To Succeed (Helen Hunt) and now the Harrison Ford movie has/will be filmed in Chattanooga.

These big names sound great, but I can't help but wonder how much influence Crutchfield actually had in bringing these movies to Chattanooga.

I mean, it's not like the area hasn't seen some big titles before

If no movies had been filmed in Chattanooga she would have gotten the blame. Give her the credit without question. She holds the office that holds the responsibility.

I know a lady who has played a significant part in a lot of movies coming to chattanooga, her name is not missy.

Most cities and every state has employees who try to bring movies to their city/state. The Studio posts what they want and its up to the different groups (in each state) to locate and send photos. Then the studio sends people out to investigate and if they like it, the movie goes there.

The lady I know that does this has been doing it for years.

Figures.

This was brought on by an interview I watched of her on channel 12 news Friday. Crutchfield was taking full credit for these movies. That was just hard to believe considering so many other movies and shows have been filmed here over the years.

Oh well... she can still take credit for the birth of Samuel L Jackson

Speaking of the new Jackie Robinson movie. Has anybody driven by Engel Stadium recently? They are destroying every historical aspect of our legendary ballpark. It looks like a movie set, which I guess it now is. Will missy be responsible for seeing that Engel is returned to what it used to look like? I have a feeling not.

Prolly will stay a "movie set" from here on out.
Just as well if you ask me. Place was unusable, unwanted and falling apart.

When she takes credit for "New York Nights", I will.

Another thing is she might be taking credit to keep the spotlight off the (I know of two possibly more) people that actually do this. They DO NOT want media hounding them and if they became "public" the studios would quit contacting them.

The Tennessee Film Commission does much of the work.

Missy Crutchfield "earning her keep"?
Please.

[JC]

Anyone know if this position is rolled into her ~110k salary from EAC?

I'm guessing she sees another 100,000+ salary...
