Alchemy Board

Westchester County isn’t just a great place to film: It’s also where projects come together before the cameras roll, and where they’re polished after the shooting wraps. Westchester offers production teams access to top-tier pre- and post-production facilities, experienced talent, and a strong creative network. It’s no surprise the County is consistently recognized as one of the most sought-after locations for productions in the region. 

Just ask Nitrous founder Paul Rosen, who relocated his production company from Manhattan to White Plains: “After 20 years in Manhattan, rising rents made it nearly impossible to grow the business. But moving to White Plains changed everything. I found an affordable space that allowed me to build a full insert stage and screening room; things I could never have done in the city. Plus, Westchester has talent, infrastructure, and convenience. It’s easier to do business here.”  
 
Rosen also points out that the communities are supportive, "so now I get to focus on creativity, not just covering overhead—and that’s a game changer.”
