Dan Rogers

Dan Rogers is the Senior Project Manager with the South Carolina Film Commission. Growing up as an Air Force brat, he lived in seven different states, one unincorporated U.S. territory, and two countries before he turned 12. His family ended up in South Carolina when his father was named Base Commander at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter. After graduating from St. Jude High School in Sumter, Dan attended USC and obtained a degree in Media Arts with a concentration in film. He parlayed an internship with the Film Commission into a full time job in 1988 and has been there ever since, helping to recruit more than 175 projects, including “The Prince of Tides,” “The Abyss,” “The Patriot,” “Dear John,” “Forrest Gump,” “The Notebook,” and the TV series “Army Wives” and “Outer Banks.”  Dan and his wife Karen have four children and live in Irmo.
