Abstract
Labor mobility and flexible employment practices have been recognized as central constructs in research on creative industries. However, despite the increasing mobility of creative work, flexible employment practices have received much more attention than the geographic mobility of creative projects and workers. This article addresses this gap by studying regional network dynamics in the evolution of the film industry in Massachusetts between 2000 and 2010. The author shows that the geographic distribution and specific types of labor and nonwage spending in the Massachusetts film industry varied over time as a function of the regional project mix and policies designed to lure highly mobile projects to the region.
