Film & Television as Workforce Development in New Jersey

In this third and final installment of our "Art of New Jersey" series, we consider the impact of Netflix and Lionsgate's $1+ billion studio investments and their potential to transform New Jersey into the "Hollywood of the East." Guests Jen Becker from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, film producer and state film commissioner Carol Cuddy, and Tom Hall from Montclair Film discuss how these major entertainment industry developments could create thousands of jobs and generate billions in economic impact. The conversation explores the broader workforce development opportunities the studio investments present for communities across the Garden State.Related links:NJ Film & Digital Media Tax Credit Program: ttps://www.njeda.gov/film/NJ Film Works Grant Program: https://www.njeda.gov/new-jersey-film-works-grant-program/NJ Film Ready Program: https://www.nj.gov/njfilm/filmready-nj.shtmlNJ Film Commission: https://www.nj.gov/njfilm/NJ-411 Production Services Directory: h=ttps://www.nj.gov/njfilm/production-psd.shtmlMontclair Film Education & Training programs: https://montclairfilm.org/education/
