At a recent New York state budget hearing, newly enhanced film and television production incentives were the shining stars of the show. These sweetened incentives are providing a compelling reason for media companies to consider New York as their prime location. The local government is pulling out all the stops to make the Empire State more attractive and competitive than ever for production, further strengthening its position as one of the leading media production hubs in the world. With increased tax credits and additional perks on offer, producers and filmmakers can look forward to a more rewarding experience shooting in the state. Championed by New York’s leadership, as well as key industry players, these attractive incentives are part of a concerted effort to drive economic growth, create jobs, and ultimately blink the spotlight on the state’s wealth of on-screen talent and off-screen production capabilities. Significantly, they signify New York’s commitment to the creative industries, indicating a promising future for film and television production in the Empire State.
