By Kwame Patterson February 14, 2007 - New York City has landed 10 new television pilots for the season – thanks to the “Made in NY” tax credit program. “We have seen an impressive increase in television pilots this year thanks to the Made in NY tax credit program,” said Katherine Oliver, Commissioner for the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. “We look forward to continuing this growth, as television represents a major part of New York City’s entertainment revenues.” The "Made in New York" program was launched with a 10 percent credit from the state in 2004 and was expanded in 2005 with a 5 percent credit from the city. A production must complete at least 75 percent of its work in New York City to be eligible for both credits. The pilots scheduled to begin production in New York City this year include: “Lipstick Jungle” - NBC Universal Television Studio Cast: Brooke Shields Writers: DeAnn Heline, Eileen Heisler Executive Producers: Candace Bushnell, DeAnn Heline, Eileen Heisler Producer: Jim Bigwood “M.O.N.Y.” - NBC Universal Television Studio Cast: Bobby Cannavale Produced/written by Tom Fontana & Barry Levinson Pilot directed by Spike Lee.

TV for The CW Writer Maggie Friedman Executive Producers: Maggie Friedman, Becky Hartman-Edwards “New Amsterdam” - Fox Writers: Allen Loeb & Christian Taylor Director: Lasse Hallestrom Producers: Michael Hausman, David Manson “Fort Pit” - Sony Pictures Television & Apostle for NBC Cast: James Badge Dale Writers: Michael Chernuchin, Peter Tolan Executive Producers: Denis Leary, Jim Serpico, Michael Chernuchin, Peter Tolan “Canterbury’s Law” - Sony Pictures Television & Apostle for Fox Producers: Denis Leary & Jim Serpico “Untitled KZK Pilot” - Sony Pictures Television for FX – Cast: Glenn Close and Ted Danson Pilot Director: Allen Coulter Pilot Writers: Todd Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler Producer: Mark A. Baker “Cashmere Mafia” - Sony Pictures Television for ABC Writer: Kevin Wade Executive Producers: Darren Star, Gail Katz, Kevin Wade In 2006, the city set a record for the highest number of film and television production shooting days ever. The Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting assisted 34,718 shoot days on public property, a 10 percent increase over 2005 when the introduction of the “Made in NY” incentive program set a then-record of 31,578 shoot days in NYC. The Made in NY incentive program, which includes tax credits, marketing credits and a concierge service, has created thousands of new jobs by bringing $2.4 billion in new business to New York within the past two years. |  |
