When you think of movie and television productions, the state of New Jersey rarely comes to mind. However, there is a thriving filmmaking industry just across the river from Manhattan. Join Janice Kovach, David Schoner, Carol Cuddy, and Jon Crowley of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission on the Bild Expo Filmmaking Stage. You'll learn how the industry was brought to New Jersey, how it affects local communities, and much more.

Sponsored by the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission.
