Production Services in New York City
37th Degree is an international production company supporting film, commercial, and branded content production in New York City. With over a decade of operational experience through our New York entity, we help global clients navigate one of the world’s most complex production environments with confidence.
Why Produce in New York with 37th Degree
Producing in New York City is uniquely challenging. Permits, union regulations, insurance requirements, and visa considerations can quickly become obstacles without the right local expertise.
37th Degree has operated through its New York entity for over 10 years, supporting productions that require strict adherence to US regulations and union standards. Our experience allows clients to move forward without uncertainty or delays.
New York also offers unmatched access to world-class talent, from union crew members with decades of experience to a deep pool of actors, models, and performers across every genre. Whether your production requires SAG-AFTRA talent or experienced non-union crew, 37th Degree connects you with the right people for every role — quickly and compliantly.
The city's production infrastructure is second to none. Purpose-built studios in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan offer soundstage space, grip and electric packages, and post-production suites within minutes of iconic exterior locations. This density of resources means faster turnarounds and significant savings on transport and logistics.
For international productions entering the US market, New York provides strategic advantages beyond logistics. The city is a global media hub, home to major networks, agencies, and distribution partners. Producing here positions your brand or content at the center of the American entertainment industry.
Filming Locations in New York City
New York City offers one of the most visually dynamic and diverse filming environments in the world. From towering Midtown skyscrapers to quiet Brooklyn brownstone streets, the city provides a virtually unlimited range of backdrops for any production format.
Manhattan locations such as Times Square, Central Park, and the Financial District deliver instantly recognizable urban settings ideal for commercials, music videos, and feature films. Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg, DUMBO, and Bushwick offer a more textured, artistic aesthetic popular with branded content and indie productions.
For productions requiring controlled environments, New York's studio facilities — including Silvercup, Steiner, and Broadway Stages — provide state-of-the-art soundstages with full production infrastructure. 37th Degree coordinates studio bookings, build-outs, and technical crew for projects of every scale.
Filming in New York requires permits from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME). 37th Degree manages the full permit application process, including location holds, street closures, and police coordination — ensuring your shoot stays legal, compliant, and on schedule.
