Frequently Asked Questions
How is crew availability in New York City?
NYC has the deepest crew pool in the eastern US, but demand is also extremely high. We recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead for standard shoots. Same-day bookings are possible for ENG and single-camera crews, but multi-camera or specialized crew may need more lead time.
What are the busiest production seasons in NYC?
NYC production runs year-round with peaks during Fashion Week (February and September), the UN General Assembly (September), holiday commercial season (October-November), and corporate fiscal year-end (Q4). Pilot season (January-April) also drives demand.
