On Thursday, Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. attended the Camden County Shorts Festival: An Evening of the World’s Best Short Films. The event, organized by the South Jersey Film Office Cooperative, brought together local film fans for a screening of notable short films from various periods. The festival was open to audiences aged 16 and older.
This year’s program included “The History of Haddon Avenue,” a documentary directed by Collingswood High School student Myles Fisher.
“Camden County continues to grow as a hub for the film industry on the East Coast,” said Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. “Events like the Shorts Festival provide world-class entertainment to our residents, while celebrating local talent.”
The South Jersey Film Office Cooperative aims to benefit both local communities and visiting production companies. It promotes regional exposure and economic opportunities for communities, while also helping productions take advantage of state tax incentives such as the New Jersey Film & Digital Media Tax Credit Program, which offers credits against business taxes for qualifying film and digital media projects.
