00:00.208 --> 00:02.961
I came to New York City with nothing
but dreams.

00:02.961 --> 00:05.130
Then I got my dream job
as a location scout,

00:05.130 --> 00:07.132
In the New York City film and TV industry.

00:07.132 --> 00:08.466
I'd have never imagined it.

00:08.466 --> 00:11.678
But now directors and producers
ask for me by name.

00:11.678 --> 00:13.388
So yeah, you could say
I'm living the dream

00:13.388 --> 00:15.306
thanks to New York City film and TV.

00:15.306 --> 00:17.475
And if that's your dream, make it happen.

00:17.475 --> 00:19.853
I'm born, bred, and buttered in Harlem.

00:19.853 --> 00:22.897
I started my restaurant because I wanted
to help change my neighborhood

00:23.023 --> 00:23.648
for the better.

00:23.648 --> 00:28.194
I love that the film and TV
industry provides endless opportunities

00:28.194 --> 00:33.324
for New Yorkers, and I get to serve my
comfort food to film crews all over NYC.

00:33.324 --> 00:36.036
It's helped us
bring more jobs to the neighborhood

00:36.036 --> 00:37.454
and to other parts of the city.

00:37.454 --> 00:41.541
So now I'm really cooking,
thanks to NYC film and TV.

00:42.250 --> 00:44.669
We saw how television and film
production was thriving 

00:44.669 --> 00:47.797
in New York City. Being in Queens means
we're close to all the action, ready

00:47.797 --> 00:49.758
to serve set builders
whenever they need us.

00:49.758 --> 00:54.095
It's amazing to see our lumber becoming
part of some fantastic movie and TV sets.

00:54.095 --> 00:55.513
It's made an incredible difference.

00:55.513 --> 00:57.766
We now have over 100 New Yorkers
working for us,

00:57.766 --> 01:01.061
because the New York City film and TV
industry has helped me double my business.

01:01.436 --> 01:06.775
The New York City film and television
industry supports 185,000 jobs,

01:07.275 --> 01:10.236
and it adds $82 billion to the economy.

01:10.320 --> 01:14.616
Filming in New York City helps local
New Yorkers and their businesses thrive.
