Marco Giron started in the entertainment industry over 15 years ago, working with Disney and Universal Records prior to entering public administration. He has also served as a director and legislative advisor for the cities of Miami and Doral.  

Now, as the Chief of Film and Entertainment for Miami-Dade County, he oversees governmental interactions with about 200 production companies; numerous sound stages and recording studios; three Spanish-language production facilities; and many businesses supportive of the motion picture, TV, video, digital and still photography industries.
