GEORGIA ON HER MIND: HOCHUL PUSHES FILM TAX CREDIT BOOST AS OTHER STATES SNAG SHOOTS

The City – New York’s once-thriving film and television production industry has suddenly hit a bump. Work has fallen by 30%, according to some estimates, and sound stages are sitting empty. Meanwhile, across the Hudson River, productions in New Jersey just set a record. And Georgia has built a film and TV business that now tops $4 billion a year.

New Yorkers may be watching more movies from home, but you can’t shoot “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in your apartment. That’s why Doug Steiner’s eponymous company is building a 500,000-square-foot film production hub with eight soundstages in Sunset Park by 2024 and is expanding his 30-stage footprint in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Producers on Steiner’s lot adopted rigorous COVID-19 testing before it became de rigueur, helping the private sector rapidly test its workers. Steiner has also been marketing 80,000 square feet of commercial space around Wegmans supermarket in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The coronavirus outbreak not only shuttered movie theaters, but halted movie and television shoots too. Doug Steiner is still bullish on the city’s burgeoning film production industry, though. He paid $320 million to build a half-million square-foot production hub at a former port complex in Sunset Park. The project is estimated to create 1,800 construction jobs and 2,200 fulltime jobs – just when the city really needs them.
