| Past Honorees
South Florida has a great deal to be proud of. The region has become one of the world’s primary spots for filming and production. Behind this growth are individuals, companies, and institutions that are leading the way.
It is time to celebrate our success together as an Industry community. On the evening of the Star Gala, the Film, Recording and Entertainment Council, the region’s most comprehensive organization supporting the industry, will hold its premier event to recognize these South Florida Stars.
The honorees are selected by the Awards Selection Committee from all the submissions sent to FREC for consideration.
Our 2009 honorees are some of the wonderfully talented industry people who reside in South Florida and have helped shape what we and many others throughout the world enjoy – Entertainment!
The honorees are being recognized as a select group of people who have achieved notable success and demonstrated strong leadership and achievement in the industry.
