Films and TV are coming to CNY, and need your help - Spectrum News

The film industry in Central New York has been growing for the last few years. Crews are getting ready to hit record on a few new projects, and they’re looking for local help.

The film industry is really starting to ramp back up since it was shut down due to the pandemic, and some big projects in Buffalo and Albany have attracted a lot of crew.

  • Movies and TV shows are increasing production around our area in the next few weeks

  • Production teams are hiring cast and crew to work on set

  • Two films and a few smaller projects have shot in Central New York this year, which brought in about $7 million to the region, according to Visit Syracuse

There are two projects in the next few weeks that are looking for help.

“People wear more than one hat all the time. It’s about just going the extra mile and, yes, do your job, but also, if you see trash, pick it up,” said Eric Vinal, the vice president of Film, TV & Entertainment for Visit Syracuse. “If you see someone struggling because it’s 100° out and they need an umbrella, help them. You know what I mean? There’s just a lot of things that you can do on a set that’s just being a decent person.”

“Mabel” is a feature film produced by an independent production company. It’s a family-friendly story about a young girl with a passion for plants.

Filming is expected to last from July 26 to August 25. All potential crew members must be local and have their own housing. Prior experience is recommended.

  • 1st AC
  • 2nd AC
  • G&E truck driver
  • PA truck driver
  • Dolly grip
  • 3rd grip

An independent production company is coming to Syracuse to film the pilot during the first week of August. Many of the crew members are from Comedy Central.
