Two struggling Pittsburgh film organizations are merging operations in order to streamline operations and retire debt. “In August 2004, the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts had a debt of more than $1 million, and the center’s board closed the facility and laid off 13 staff members. A month later, Pittsburgh Filmmakers agreed to lend its executive director, Charlie Humphrey, to the center, and he has divided his time between the organizations since then… The two organizations will merge their budgets as of July 1, with a combined preliminary budget of $3.4 million.”
