Film museum coming soon?

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington Film enthusiasts are hoping to expand their presence in the Cape Fear.

Members of the local film community gathered to discuss the potential for a film museum in Downtown Wilmington Friday night.

Members of the Cape Fear Independent Film Network are spearheading the project and they say the museum will include local projects dating back as far as 1902. The overall goal is to educate people on Wilmington’s role in the film industry.

Organizers hope to keep the museum free for the public and are currently looking for donations and volunteers to help make their dream a reality.
