Broadway Stages Contributes to Film Production Record in New York City

Since May 2016, an all-time high of 52 television series were filmed in New York City, in addition to 336 feature film projects. The outstanding growth of 13 percent in television and 40 percent in feature film production since 2015 is due to New York state's $420 million in film production tax credits.

Broadway Stages, Brooklyn's largest full-service film and production company, has helped bring shows like CBS's "Bull," TBS's "The Detour," and the Emmy Award-winning "The Good Wife" to New York City. The production increase has had an undeniably positive impact on the local economy, as film production studios source locally for food and equipment.
