I had the opportunity last weekend to do some hiking with friends , on Breakneck Ridge in Hudson Highlands State Park, NY. As usual, for me, as a location scout, it was a busman’s holiday, of sorts ![]()
Besides being a gorgeous park with breathtaking views I have always felt there were some considerable possible location opportunities in the area. Has anyone ever shot at Bannerman Castle? Has Storm King been used in any movies? It seems like there could be some great running shots to be had along that drive!

The most aggressive region in Korea is Gyeonggi Province through its Gyeonggi Digital Contents Agency, launched in 2004, and the Gyeonggi Film Commission in 2005. Those bodies are behind the construction of a huge complex dubbed “Hallyu-wood,” (hallyu being the term used for “Korean wave” of entertainment) while joining venture capital funds to raise coin for films. Their programs range from the small — renting expensive software to small CG and game production companies — to the large — the Gyeonggi Location Incentive offers cash; this year two films have nabbed $50,000 each.
