Spectrum News NY 1 recently interviewed the commissioner of New York City’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME), Anne del Castillo, to talk about the recovery of the city’s film and television production industry, and the positive economic impact the industry continues to provide the city.

A recent Economic Impact Study commissioned by MOME reports that in 2019, the film and television industry in NYC supported approximately 185,000 total jobs, $18.1 billion in total wages, and $18.6 billion in total output. The New York state tax credit programs have been instrumental for industry growth and remain key to attracting industry activity to New York City. And the good news – demand continues to increase!

At Broadway Stages, we are doing our part to meet the growing demand of the industry while also helping to generate economic value to our local communities. We are one of the largest growing film and television studio production companies in New York, and a certified woman owned business by the city of New York Minority and Women owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE). An integral part of New York for almost four decades, today Broadway Stages has over 1.6 million square feet of integrated space with 60 soundstages, unique locations, production services, and over seven acres of parking throughout Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Together with our clients, we have employed thousands, and created innumerable jobs.

Steadfast values based on decades of experience, and a heritage steeped in tradition and community focus are at the core of Broadway Stages’ business philosophy, and the catalyst to make a lasting, positive local impact – economically, socially, and environmentally. Visit us to learn more.
