The HUDSON VALLEY FILM COMMISSION has collected data from 14 out of 27 projects it worked with, and supported during fiscal year 2018.

• Over $26,788,000 in DIRECT REGIONAL SPENDING

• 22,511+ rooms rented at local lodging establishments

• 294+ production days 

• 175+ scouting days tallied 

• 151+ locations used 

• 378+ local crew members hired 

• 1,750+ local actors and extras hired 

Since 2010, the Hudson Valley Film Commission has tracked data from 180 projects and tallied:

• $112-million in DIRECT REGIONAL SPENDING 

• 92,916 rooms were rented at local lodging establishments

• 3946+ production days 

• 1698+ scouting days 

• 1466+ locations used

Most of these projects would not have happened were it not for the Hudson Valley Film Commission and their long standing industry relationships, credibility and know how. The film commission makes great efforts to refer LOCAL vendors, crew members, actors and locations with the aim of creating jobs and continued sustainable economic development. 

Additional data will be compiled over the following two months and presented in early 2019.
