New York is benefiting from Governor Andrew Cuomo's support of the entertainment industry while California is hurting from Governor Jerry Brown's indecisive stance.
While Gov. Brown is still “not committed” to expanding California's film and television tax credit, Los Angeles may be experiencing an all-time low with the most recent drop in broadcast pilot production.
On the other side of the country, Big Apple is celebrating the return of The Tonight Show as well as resurfacing as the most popular drama production location and a rise in comedy production. A record 15 pilots will film in New York this year and Disney and Marvel have commited to film approx. 60 episodes of Marvel’s four Netflix series and a miniseries in New York City.
Less we forget, four years ago, before NY implemented its aggressive tax break program, there was no NY-based production demonstrating how the studios would not be able to have a New York prescence had the tax incentives not been strong enough, especially the expensive single-camera format.
TV and Film is back in NYC!
