Columbia, S.C. – The South Carolina Film Commission is providing a grant to support the production of BOUND, an independent young adult thriller slated to film in Blythewood, SC, this winter. Through the University of South Carolina's Get On Set initiative, students will gain hands-on production experience, continuing the state's commitment to developing South Carolina's film workforce.
