"The Hudson Valley Film Commission was a huge support to Touch Productions from when we first made initial contact with them, the first scout in Woodstock and continuously throughout the project. They have introduced us to an amazing group of local people who became part of our team. The website was a great help when we were organizing casting sessions and looking for volunteers to help on the project. We also were able to advertise for rental properties on the website, which was very useful. Laurent was a great help with National Geographic and their press department before and during filming. Using local knowledge helped us tremendously throughout our stay in the US. They were a huge help and we could not have done it without the Film Commission.“ (The Human Footprint)

“The work experience was wonderful. Everyone involved at the location as well as at the film commission was an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot think of anything that they were not helpful with or would need to provide that they did not accommodate with a smile and helping hand.” (3 Music Video)

“It was wonderful! The film commission, on a moment’s notice, provided access to talent and vendors in an area we were not familiar with.” (Before it Had a Name)

“We had a great experience shooting in the area and hope to shoot a feature there soon.” (Man)

“The Hudson Valley Film Commission was a tremendous asset and support for our production.  Coming from New York City and shooting “upstate”, we didn’t have an accurate grasp on the local communities in terms of resources for crew, lodging, food, locations, local press and government agencies, among many other essentials, and the film commission helped make this transition as seamless as possible.  Also, their website was a great help when trying to find and contact local resources and amenities.  We had a great experience shooting upstate in large part due to the guidance and assistance of the film commission.” (The Cake Eaters)
