2022 in Review: Top stories of the year

Chicago has an impressive amount of talented cast and crew members, techs, and vendors who handle absolutely any production challenge that gets thrown at them.

Our most often read stories are the ones that help unify, inform, educate and entertain our ever-growing production industry. Everyone wants to know what’s up in town, whether that be film, TV, post, commercial production, events, workshops, festivals, or who’s on the move.

This year our top story of the year is about the day all of that came to a halt.

We’ve put together a group of stories that had the most interest in 2022. Starting with our #1 story, and no one tells that story better than Colin Costello, our Los Angeles editor of Reel 360.
