CAPITAL APPEAL
Albany County, located in New York’s Capital Region, continues to see growing interest from film and television productions seeking diverse locations and production support services. Over the past several months, Film Albany has assisted a range of projects—from independent productions to inquiries connected with major entertainment companies—by providing location assistance, virtual and in-person scouting support, logistical coordination, and connections to local resources.
Recent production inquiries have focused on historic architecture, downtown streetscapes, residential neighborhoods, theaters, educational and healthcare settings, hospitality venues, government buildings, churches, and unique public spaces. Albany County’s diverse locations, combined with its proximity to New York City, Boston, and Montreal, continue to make it an attractive filming destination. New York State’s Film Tax Credit further enhances the appeal, providing an added incentive for productions considering Albany County and the Capital Region.
Film Albany also continues to expand its online location gallery and strengthen relationships with producers, location managers, studios, and industry partners to ensure Albany remains visible as a production-friendly destination.
Their mission is simple: to make filming in Albany County efficient, welcoming, and successful by connecting productions with the locations, partners, and services they need.
