Film and TV Production Revving Up Across City, Report Finds
Despite COVID-19, television and film production in New York City is roaring back, says a new report by the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment.
According to the report, the sector is returning to pre-pandemic 2019 levels, when it was responsible for some $82 billion in total economic output.
“The report makes clear what we’ve long known – that the film and television industry is a significant economic driver providing high quality, well-paying jobs and generating significant revenue for the local businesses that support it,” said Kris Bagwell, executive vice president and managing director of Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens.
