Connecticut: The Hollywood of the East?

Wesleyan University weighs the pros and cons of movie stardom as a number of Connecticut colleges profit from a statewide film-production boom (the Wesleyan Argus calls the state "Hollywood East"; I kind of think New York is more deserving, but whatever). A school official, David Pesci (any relation?), says movie sets are disruptive without providing much monetary benefit, an attitude that will do little to diminish the school's already exasperating reputation. "In short, there's not a lot of money to be made from this."
