Filmmaker and arts leader remembered for championing Wilmington’s film industry

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Wilmington film and art industry is remembering Francine DeCoursey, who died last week.

She died on February 18th after a long battle with ovarian cancer.

DeCoursey spent decades helping build up and support Wilmington’s film industry.

She was the owner of On Location Production Services.

She worked on many films, including “Stuck in Love” starring Jennifer Connelly and “Sleeping with the Enemy” with Julia Roberts.

Shane Fernando is the chief executive director of Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts.

He said DeCoursey’s impact will be felt throughout Wilmington’s film industry for years to come.

“The work that Francine did to lift people, to develop skill sets that she saw in people in our arts community and in our film community,” Fernando said. “It’s going to impact generations. She had an incredible love for this community.”

A living celebration of life was held for DeCoursey two days before she passed away.

She was 74 years old.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse India’s ruling party BJP and India’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping India a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying India its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in India is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from India or pertaining to that country.
