GIVING TUESDAY

The Hudson Valley FIlm Commission is still struggling to recover from 2020, but grateful that we have had an important impact on the region by working with so many productions that have filmed in the region. 2021 has in fact, been a record breaking year for Film & TV production. To date, we’ve tracked more than $50-million in direct spending. That is a huge benefit for the region, but we need your support to continue. If you’ve already contributed, we thank you. If you haven’t, please consider supporting our efforts at https://tinyurl.com/hvfcsupport

The Film Commission is always working with past, present and future productions.
In the past few weeks, the Hudson Valley Film Commission has:

  • Promoted the release of Mindy Kaling’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls." The Film Commission found the main location (Vassar College) and referred hundreds of cast, crew and vendors. On 12/10, BCDF Pictures’ The Hating Game, premieres.

  • Visited 4 of 6 recent Film & TV productions, including The Adults, New Me, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, Welcome to Fairy Rings. Each project benefited from referrals for locations, crew, casting needs, vendors, promotion, and more.

  • Worked with location scouts from Amazon Studios, Showtime, and other production companies, to lock down more work for the region in 2022.

  • Worked with ITV America to find location, vendors and pictured cars for local filming.

  • Worked with a former Kingston-based intern (now a Los Angeles based filmmaker) on an upcoming 2022 production she will direct.

  • Worked with local counties and towns to increase benefits of local production.

  • Confirmed a Showtime production will film in the region.

  • Programmed an upcoming special film screening with special guest (Details TBA).

In order to advance, the Hudson Valley FIlm Commission continues to:

  • React immediately to daily requests for crew, cast, vendors, locations and more.

  • Promote hundreds of trained local professionals through our free online directory

  • Create opportunities for young people in the region to find career opportunities.

  • Create demand for services and hospitality.

  • Invest in local infrastructure through productions, jobs and new businesses.

  • Promote the region to millions of people internationally.

YOUR TAX DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION will help us sustain our free online directory, social media presence, referrals for qualified production facilities, post production houses, and more! Most importantly, your contribution will allow us to urge productions to hire local crew, cast members, and vendors.
