    SANTA BARBARA COUNTY LAUNCHES FIRST of ITS KIND FILM INCENTIVE PROGRAM in CALIFORNIA Program Includes Unscripted Television and Commercials

    CONTACT: Jaime Shaw, Communications Associate Michelle Rodriguez, Director of Communications Visit Santa Barbara Visit Santa Barbara 805.966.9222 x107, [email protected] 805.966.9222 x112, [email protected] SANTA BARBARA COUNTY LAUNCHES FIRST OF ITS KIND FILM INCENTIVE PROGRAM IN CALIFORNIA Program includes Unscripted Television and Commercials Santa Barbara, CA (November 12, 2013) — Santa Barbara County is offering a new media production incentive program that is the first of its kind in California with the goal to encourage production companies to bring their projects to the area. The program is unique because it includes unscripted television, commercial and still photography, in addition to feature films and scripted television. Created by the Santa Barbara County Film Commission, this innovative incentive program provides a cash rebate for eligible productions that book a minimum number of room nights in specified areas of the County. Film Commissioner Geoff Alexander says, “We’re incredibly excited about launching this program. By including still photography production, commercials, and unscripted television, we have created an incentives program which is entirely unique in the State of California. We believe that word will travel fast that Santa Barbara County wants this business.” Santa Barbara County has always been a filming mecca, and in 2010 celebrated its 100th year of filmmaking. Before Hollywood, this coastal city was the hub of California's film industry and home to the state’s first major movie studio, the legendary Flying A Studio (1910), and early pioneers during the silent-film era. Some well- known films to use Santa Barbara County as a backdrop include: The Ten Commandments (1923), The Graduate (1967), Seabiscuit (2003), Sideways (2004), Grindhouse (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean III: At World's End (2007), There Will Be Blood (2007) and It’s Complicated (2009), which starred Santa Barbara as the setting for the film.

    Youth Champion

    Dialogue and Mutual Understanding PRESS RELEASE UN to appoint actress Monique Coleman as Youth Champion New York, 16 November: The UN will appoint Disney actress and youth activist Monique Coleman as a “Youth Champion” for the International Year of Youth at a press conference today. Ms. Coleman is best known for her character Taylor McKessie in the “High School Musical” movies and her recurring role as Mary-Margaret on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody”. Most recently, she launched an online talk show, “Gimme MO'”, to empower youth. The American actress, a long-time advocate for improving the social and economic well-being of young peo- ple, says "I am extremely passionate about youth and look forward to highlighting the amazing ways they are already making a difference.” Assistant Secretary-General Jomo Kwame Sundaram in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs will present Ms. Coleman with a letter of recognition as a UN Youth Champion to promote the International Year. The International Year of Youth was launched on 12 August 2010 and runs through 11 August 2011. Youth, defined by the United Nations as people between the ages of 15 to 24, represent 18 per cent of the world’s population, or 1.2 billion people. The Year provides an opportunity to recognize that young people in all countries are a major human resource for development, positive social change and technical innovation. It aims to advance their full participation on youth-related issues in global, regional and national development agendas. To provide a vehicle to reach the young men and women who spend a great deal of time in cyberspace, Ms Coleman hosts each online “webisode”, which facilitates safe conversation on important issues confronting young people and provides much needed positive information and content.
