originally published: 01/31/2022


(TRENTON, NJ) --The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA)'s January ECONversations podcast episode centers on the Garden State’s vibrant – and growing – film industry. This latest episode is available online.

New Jersey has a lot to offer the national and international film and television industry – from sprawling farmlands to iconic beaches to bustling downtowns. New Jersey is also home to one of the largest talent pools of film and digital media in the world. In addition, the Garden State offers one of the most comprehensive Film and Digital Media Tax Credit programs in the nation.

This month’s ECONversations episode is hosted by NJEDA Chief Community Development Officer Tai Cooper. Participants included New Jersey Motion Picture & Television Commission Executive Director Steven Gorelick, NJEDA's Senior Advisor of Film, Digital & Economic Growth Communications Darryl Isherwood, and Newark International Film Festival Founder Kenneth Gifford.

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) serves as the State’s principal agency for driving economic growth. The NJEDA is committed to making New Jersey a national model for inclusive and sustainable economic development by focusing on key strategies to help build strong and dynamic communities, create good jobs for New Jersey residents, and provide pathways to a stronger and fairer economy. Through partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders, the NJEDA creates and implements initiatives to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life in the State and strengthen New Jersey’s long-term economic competitiveness.
