The postproduction industry is a big success in New York City. Compared to the national average of 12 percent growth in postproduction jobs, New York City nearly triples the figure at 35 percent growth in the industry since 2004.

Since the New York State Postproduction Tax Credit Program was introduced in 2010, more than 2,600 new jobs have been created with every job in the postproduction industry creating an average of 2.07 jobs in the U.S. economy. With over $7 million in economic output and $128 million in fiscal impact, the New York State Postproduction Tax Credit not only stimulates the local economy but also develops New York City into a competitive productions location. As Brooklyn's largest full film and productions company, Broadway Stages looks forward to continuing to bring commerce to the New York City economy and creating new jobs.

Broadway Stages Speaks to the Success of the NY Film Tax Credit Program

Broadway Stages is excited to announce that Governor Cuomo has proposed an extension of the New York State Film Tax Credit Program until 2022! The program is essential to strengthening the production industry in New York City while also positively impacting the local economy.

Tony Argento, founder of Broadway Stages, said on behalf of Broadway Stages,

"our deepest gratitude to Governor Cuomo for his support of the film and television industry. Broadway Stages' success, in large part, is due to the governor's foresight in expanding the Film and Television Tax Credit. This tax credit is the engine driving Broadway Stages to rapidly expand, and its continuance will provide for further expansion and creation of thousands of jobs. During Governor Cuomo's stewardship of the state, Broadway Stages, located in Greenpoint Brooklyn, has undergone a renaissance of film and television production. Our studio has grown exponentially from 25 sound stages in 2010 to 44 sound stages in 2017, expanding to 1.5 million square feet."
