Film industry has long-lasting impact for Port City businesses

WILMINGTON -- When TNT's "Good Behavior" starts filming its second season in April, the printers at Port City Signs and Graphics will have already been running for more than a month to get production ready. Over at Stevens Ace Hardware, orders for set building materials will also be well underway.

For those in the film industry and the local businesses that work alongside it, a local film or TV production's worth to the region starts early, ramps up during filming, and lingers long after the cameras stop rolling.
