WEBVTT

00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:06.339
The.

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:17.079
We do the work to ensure that
filming production happens in New

00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:17.639
York City,

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.600
so we give the permits to allow
for filmmakers to make the film

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.000
go to the streets and we also
work to.

00:00:24.104 --> 00:00:27.555
To try to attract those
productiv to our city.

00:00:27.674 --> 00:00:30.954
We want to see Paramount. We
want to see Warner Brothers.

00:00:31.034 --> 00:00:34.075
We want to see Netflix make
those films right here in New York

00:00:34.075 --> 00:00:37.075
City so that young people like
yourself have opportunities to

00:00:37.075 --> 00:00:39.075
get the job.

00:00:40.395 --> 00:00:44.884
What is your favorite?

00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:50.369
My favorite part of my job is
being able to interact with

00:00:50.369 --> 00:00:52.159
students like yourself. Um,

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.599
what makes today so great is
that we've created an avenue for

00:00:56.599 --> 00:00:59.889
y'all to be able to show your
films so that people can watch

00:00:59.889 --> 00:01:02.580
your films and for us to be able
to experience the art that

00:01:02.580 --> 00:01:04.009
you're creating.

00:01:04.309 --> 00:01:04.730
So it's a very special day,

00:01:04.930 --> 00:01:08.930
and this is what makes the job
so much fun.

00:01:16.889 --> 00:01:20.139
The most important advice I can
give to anyone who wants to make

00:01:20.139 --> 00:01:21.759
a movie, especially young
people,

00:01:22.059 --> 00:01:24.489
they say you just have to get up
and do it, right?

00:01:24.699 --> 00:01:27.660
We can sit in our sofas and talk
so much about the ideas that

00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:28.489
are in our heads,

00:01:28.669 --> 00:01:31.339
but no one will be able to
experience those ideas and see how

00:01:31.339 --> 00:01:34.300
great your ideas are if you
don't pick up the camera and start

00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:38.300
shooting that film. So I
encourage everyone just to go do that.

00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:41.230
Right now,

00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:46.790
currently in the past year we've
had about 50 films made in New

00:01:46.790 --> 00:01:49.910
York. Um, those num that number
continues to increase.

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.470
It did go down during the
pandemic, uh,

00:01:52.589 --> 00:01:55.069
but we are seeing a reactive.

00:01:55.224 --> 00:01:56.735
Innovation of the industry in
our city.

00:01:56.855 --> 00:02:00.855
So we're hoping to see more and
more movies being made.

00:02:03.455 --> 00:02:06.735
I'm really excited about the TV
show Daredevil,

00:02:06.885 --> 00:02:10.414
which is the Marvel show that's
being filmed here for a season 3.

00:02:10.705 --> 00:02:13.604
So we're going to see more of
that great show being filmed in

00:02:13.604 --> 00:02:15.604
the city.
