The long battle to stay in California City is taking its toll on all our resources says Gail Michael head of the studios, we just feel we need another out let Said Gail even though it is much further from Los Angeles than we would like to be, Our film season is upon us and we have had 2 bad seasons here in California City, do to conflicts with this city. Ridgecrest has a lot of film resources we can tap into as well.

 Our efforts have help put Kern County well over the closest competitors last year, those being Palmdale and Lancaster. Kern County did 25 million and both Lancaster and Palmdale together only did 16 million, in economical impact. We feel we have a lot to offer Ridgecrest, along with the film School we have a great working relationship ship with other film friendly states, which we can tap for students. There is a lot of bus for stimulus money to retrain Americans coming from the Obama camp, we would like to get in that line said Gail.

We have always had a wonderful relation ship with the film Commission in Kern County as well as Los Angeles, they have always been behind us and felt our pain when we have struggled here California City. I believe  will be able to serve the county better as well, once some of this pressure is off and will be able to get a regular uninterrupted flow going Said Gail.  

 We also feel will get the cooperation we need there to move forward. Russell will continue to let this property out for filming but most of our efforts will be concentrated there, said Gail Michael. We need the film school; it has always been part of our 5 year plan, which is well into nine year's now. Russell and I love it here but I don't want to waste anymore time said Gail.
