2008 Sees Eight Hundred and Fiftieth "Made in NY" Discount Card Vendor

January 6, 2009 - For over four decades, the New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOFTB) has served as a one stop shop for entertainment production in all five boroughs. In 2005, the state and city passed the "Made in NY" tax credit, which has since contributed to a rise in film and television shooting throughout NYC. To make sure local businesses can benefit from the increase in production, the MOFTB, in partnership with HSBC Bank, created the "Made in NY" Discount Card. Whenever bona fide productions are issued permits from the MOFTB - whether it's a feature length film, television show, documentary, student film, music video, or still photography shoot - they have the opportunity to sign up for discount cards that can be distributed among the crew and used for the duration of the shoot. Every vendor offers at least a 10% discount off its services.

The program, which also began in 2005, currently boasts over eight hundred fifty vendor participants. With services that range from accounting all the way to wardrobe, it's not just traditional entertainment industries that are taking advantage.

Over Seventy-five vendors joined the "Made in NY" Discount Card program in 2008!
