Filmmakers got some brotherly love at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival! The Philadelphia Industry Lounge was created with the blessings of Mayor Nutter and the Greater Philadelphia Film office and the support of sponsors Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, Cozen O’Connor, Cashman & Associates and Shooters Post & Transfer’s DIVE division, to market Philadelphia directly to filmmakers and entertainment professionals. Information about special tax incentives and other unique offerings of the Philadelphia region were showcased in the Lounge, where guests enjoyed a taste of Philadelphia featuring local favorites such as Tony Luke’s Cheese Steaks, Tastykakes, Peanut Chews, Bluecoat Gin and Pravda Vodka. In addition, the Philadelphia Industry Lounge hosted the premiere party for Philadelphia-native Lee Daniels’ film Push on Friday, January 16th and an NFC Championship viewing party for Eagles fans on Sunday, January 18th.
