I subscribe to the N.C. Film Hot Sheet, which the state Film Office sends out occasionally to inform the public (and aspiring film extras) about productions in the state. North Carolina was once the third-most filmed-in state, not too long ago. It has lost that distinction, as you can tell from today’s “Hot Sheet:”
