Oak Grove Joins Film Commission

Oak Grove Tourism Director Traci Cunningham now has a seat on the Southern Kentucky Film Commission. Cunningham was seated on the commission's board of directors during a recent meeting of the commission in Munfordville alongside other tourism representatives from the southern portion of the state.

"I am thrilled and excited to be a representative for this area," Cunningham said in a news release. "Christian County is one of the enhanced counties for the state filming incentives. I believe this is an extraordinary opportunity for the entire county and I think it will benefit us greatly." Cunningham continued by saying "We are already getting a number of requests and inquiries, which further proves this will create a positive impact for our economy."

The commission is just over a year old and is responsible for marketing the area to filmmakers by identifying potential locations and resources, according to the release.

"We're excited to welcome Trace to the board," Munfordville Tourism Executive Director Coni Shepperd said in a news release. "Southern Kentucky is blessed with beautiful locations of all kinds and an abundance of southern hospitality, and the Oak Grove area brings with it some unique opportunities for filmmakers. Traci will be the film contact and we are sure that her knowledge of the area and her enthusiasm will be a great asset to our commission."
