New York Film Scene

Whether you're interested in film, television, broadcasting or theatre, New York is at the center of the show business universe—or at least, it's pretty close. And in New York, film is a mainstay of the state's $5 billion dollar entertainment industry, which employs roughly 100,000 people.

With its diverse locations, attractions and population, there can be little question as to why the New York film scene attracts so many of the top names in the industry. Just about anything a film production would need, including great locations and skilled film professionals, can be found there.

If New York's natural charms aren't enough, the state has sweetened the deal by offering incentives such as tax credits and sales tax exemptions for New York film productions. City and state officials also seem to be anxious to accommodate. In the words of the New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, "We have a reputation for finding a way to say yes."
