If you are planning on shooting on location on New York City city property (i.e. streets / sidewalks / curb spaces or if you are shooting on private property and will be running cable across same …or need to clear parking…) in New York City (which includes the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island), you will need a City of New York Mayor’s Office of Film Theatre & Broadcasting (MOFTB) film permit. You should probably hire a local location scout or location manager to complete this paperwork for you.

I recently had the opportunity and pleasure recently to work with our own Passaic County Film Commission, which is an economic development arm of the Passaic County, NJ county government.

Passaic County, NJ (I live in Clifton, NJ, which is in Passaic County) is a very viable resource for location scouts, location managers and producers of film, video and photo media, given its proximity to New York City (most, if not all of the county is in the NYC film zone), population density and subsequently, diversity of potential locations and other resources of likely value to production.

The Passaic County Film Commission also sponsors the Passaic County Film Festival.

The film office is headed up by Deborah Hoffman, Director of Economic Development for the county. Deborah, if by no other virtue than her job, knows LOTS of people around the county and is well connected in the local business community. What this translates to is Deborah is the initial point person for “making things happen” if there is interest in making use of production and location resources in Passaic County. Deborah’s contact info can be found on the Passaic County website.

New York City and Northeast US Film Offices

As a producer or production coordinator, when asked to estimate production costs for a specific shoot, there are almost always some of the basic line items that have to be covered…

Lots of changes afoot at the New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting (MOFTB), begun this past year and likely to continue well into 2008 that involve a rewrite of many rules that include potential easing of some film permit requirements and other changes.

Season’s Greetings to all from R. Richard Hobbs / nyc.locationscout.us!

The New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcast (MOFTB) publishes a monthly newsletter which features news about the film office as well as other news of interest to the film and tv production communities.

If you were (are?) a fan of the Sopranos (like me!), you might be very interested in this website (The Sopranos on Location) I found which has a theme based on the locations used for filming the aforementioned long-running and award-winning cable-tv series which aired new episodes beginning 1999 till June 2007.

This interesting newspaper editorial article came my way via my email inbox via The Hartford Courant and Google Alerts wherein the Courant calls on the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism to clarify its placing Film Commissioner Heidi Hamilton effective August 21st.
