Sharon Pinkenson has served as the Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office (GPFO) for more than 25 years during the terms of four mayors and six governors.  She is responsible for all aspects of the office, founded in 1985.

 On July 1, 1992, she successfully spun off the municipal film office as a multi-county driving force for economic development, a non-profit corporation that has generated more than five billion dollars during her tenure.  Ms. Pinkenson markets the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding region to the film, video, and television industry, and coordinates every aspect of production from cast and crew, support businesses and locations to community relations, and government services and incentives, while enhancing the region’s reputation internationally on both the big and small screen.
