Entertainment Law In New Jersey: A Century Of Supporting The Motion Picture Industry
The article is a couple of years old at this point (how did I miss this?) and takes a bit of a “lawyerly” tack at times, but New Jersey Film Office Staff Member Steven Gorelick gives a star performance as interviewee espousing the history of and importance of filmaking to our culture and economy in New Jersey.
“Editor: How is the New Jersey Film Commission helping independent filmmakers get their start?
Gorelick: You’d be surprised how many films at Sundance are from New Jersey. Garden State was a hit this year at Sundance. Clerks and Kevin Smith’s other works have also been well received. Two Family House , which won at Sundance, was filmed in Bayonne and many other films in the competition were shot here. It’s amazing the percentage of Sundance winners and Sundance entrants that are made in New Jersey. The Station Agent won two years ago.”

Shoot Magazine (print edition) | or Seeking Deja Vu: N.Y. Looks To Fuel Spot Business (subscription required) | Commercial-making Incentives Hope To Mirror Success of N.Y. Feature Film / Television Program Tax Credits | By Robert Goldrich
“February 23, 2007 — For Alan Suna, co-owner of Long Island City-headquartered Silvercup Studios, a New York stage facility mainstay, the success of the TV series pilot filming season bodes well for spot production in the Big Apple. Just as the upsurge in film and TV lensing, including pilots, has increased dramatically since New York’s feature/TV tax credits…”
Tax incentive legislation enacted in New York at the state level beginning 2004-2005 has increased feature film and tv production significantly, but initially, somehow, the tv spot end of the industry was left out.
All that is about to change, thanks to new tax incentives that include commercial production as well.
On a local level, the New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcast’s (MOFTB) “Made in New York” program, which includes tax incentives, a concierge service as well as additional vendor discounts and other perks has increased film production volume dramatically over the past two years, attracting $2.4 billion in new production business including a record number of tv pilots. Like the state’s original program, the city’s current tax incentives only include films and tv shows, however, the Mayor’s Office and New York City Council are presently considering a companion program to New York State’s new program that includes commercial production.
For all of us in the film production business, including location scouts and location managers, ANY program, especially a tax incentive program that, according to figures per current programs in place quoted in the Shoot Online article generates $1.34 in increased overall income per $1.00 in tax incentives and generates new, increased business= a good thing! The overall local economy benefits as well, as film production relies on a myriad of local vendors not neccesarily always linked directly just to film production, including many areas of the hotel and hospitality industries and as “everyday” as hardware/building supplies, car services, dry cleaning and general retail to name just a few.
Specifically regarding film location services, local property owners and the real estate industry benefit and in the case of studio filming there are benefits as additional studio space is leased to accommodate increased filming. The aforementioned Shoot article also quotes SilverCup Studios (Long Island City, NY) co-owner Alan Suna reporting that business volume has been sufficent enough for Silvercup to open SilverCup East and plans are in the works to open SilverCup west on the east bank of the East River in Long Island City. SilverCup is one the the New York City area’s largest film studio/sound stage businesses, regularly hosting studio shoots for many major motion pictures, television programs and commercials.

Shoot Online | Meet The Commish | Filming Incentive Program Takes Hold In Connecticut | By Robert Goldrich
“July 21, 2006 — Heidi Hamilton became Connecticut’s Film Division Director last December, after having worked under the previous director. She brings to her position a broad-based background in law and filmmaking.”
CT Film | Connecticut Digital Media & Motion Picture Tax Credit
“What happens when you combine majestic shorelines, quiet meadows, old world architecture, bucolic town greens, mill town grunge, skilled crew base and 30% tax credits?”
CT Film | Welcome Message from Film Division Director Heidi Hamilton
“…In the closing days of the 2006 session, the General Assembly established tax credits for the production of digital media and motion pictures in Connecticut and renamed the division the Digital Media and Motion Picture Division (effective October 1, 2006). In an effort to encourage increased economic activity in the state and job growth, the legislation calls for a tax credit equal to 30% for qualified digital media and motion picture production, preproduction, postproduction and distribution expenses incurred in the state that exceed $50,000. The production tax credit is among the most aggressive programs in the country and will be administered by the Film Division. On our website you will find detailed information including a pre-application and instructions. Check frequently for updated program information.”

About Filming Permits | Information for Production and Property Owners:
Additional Info:
Towns and municipalities in “The Zone” are more likely to have formal permit requirements and there may be fees involved. Towns and municipalities outside “The zone” may have permit requirements as well, however requirements tend to relax as distance from New York City increases and population density decreases.
There are exclusive communities that do not allow filming at all, however this is the exception.
The point being made is that property owners and production alike should check with local government as to whether a property (whether it be municipally-owned or privately owned) under consideration as a filming location is subject to film permit requirements.
Property owners and production alike should understand and should be prepared to comply with any local filming or photography permit requirements as they may exist. Not only is it the right thing to do, but when you think about it it be could darn expensive to reshoot after being shut down for not having a permit!
The city clerk’s office or police department are good starting points for getting information regarding local film permit requirements.
Often a film permit will include require production to provide a certificate of insurance showing the municipality third-party additionally insured.
Sometimes “leafleting” or advising neighbors in writing of an intended shoot is a permit requirement.
Many permit requirements revolve around issues of impact on the community with regard to traffic congestion and safety, noise, and “general commotion”. Even a small photo crew, under certain circumstances, let alone a large production with a large crew, many vehicles and a lot of equipment can be potentially be very disruptive to neighbors or the area at-large.
Permit requirements very widely from town to town and can require as little effort as notifying the local police department or sending the town a letter of intent to multiple forms to multiple local government offices / agencies and fees of over $1000 per day.
Even if there is no formal permit required is usually advisable to contact the local government and police department, especially if a shoot is to take place on public property or has any potential whatsoever of being disruptive in any way.
