While the specific production remains under wraps,the prospect of national exposure has already generated excitement among local business leaders. Claudio Bono, president-elect of the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce and managing director of the Cupertino Hotel, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “As a hotelier who travels the globe to promote our city as a premier leisure destination, I’ve long advocated that Cupertino is so much more then its tech reputation.” He emphasized the city’s rich history, culture, and natural beauty, adding, “We are home to the world’s first trillion-dollar company, yes - but we’re also rich in history, culture and natural beauty.”
