Filming is Good for NYC

filming is good for NYC

The "Filming is Good for NYC" campaign highlights the important economic role the production industry plays in New York City: the $400 million in tax revenue generated by the hundreds of films and television shows produced throughout the five boroughs translates to salaries for thousands of local firefighters, teachers and sanitation workers. The industry also employs over 130,000 fellow New Yorkers who work behind the scenes on films and TV shows. This creative campaign can be viewed in subway cars and on platforms, on digital screens at the entrances to select subway stations, on bus shelters, on newsstands and in various local media outlets.
