Ross talks with Dr. David Morton about his new book, Motion Picture Paradise: A History of Florida's Film and Television Industry. Beginning in Jacksonville in the early 1900s, Florida spent decades competing with New York and Hollywood to become a major film production center. How did a series of failures and false starts influence Florida and its economic development? Can Florida become a motion picture paradise again? And what happened to Nickelodeon Studios?
