Everyday KC - Movie Making!

Since the beginning of the American film industry, Kansas City has played quite literally a central role in the production and distribution of movies. Of course, the father of animated film, Walt Disney, began is career here, with his company, "Laugh-O-Gram Studios". But in what is now the Crossroads Arts District, between downtown and Crown Center was "Movie Row". In the days when showing a full-length motion picutre involved hoisting a heavy film reel onto a projector, Kansas City was the perfect central location to distribute films nationwide. 

Today, some power-house production companies keep very busy, largely fueled by KC's top advertising agencies, as well as KC-based companies like Hallmark, Sprint, H&R Block, and AMC Theaters. On our show this week, we talk with a local producer, Mike Wunsch, about the past, present and future of the Kansas City movie industry. 

Plus fun and information from Duane & Rachel, and a visit from our "Gal About Town", Stacey Lukas!
