“When we first got involved [in 2012], the understanding in the industry was Massachusetts was what they call two deep in crew, which is shorthand that the state was capable of doing two major film projects at the same time,” said Gary Crossen, general manager of New England Studios, a Devens-based production soundstage. “Now they generally view Massachusetts as seven deep, because the number of people in the industry has increased exponentially.”

Once a production desert, Central Massachusetts has seen a large increase in Hollywood-related activity in the past 15 years, helping foster the creation of a cottage industry providing props, labor, and locations for moviemaking. Then, the strikes came.

New England Studios would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who worked so hard to be part of this year's Oscars presentation. Specifically, we’d like to highlight The Holdovers, which was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Filmed in the winter of 2022, written by David Hemingson and directed by Alexander Payne, this film captured tremendous attention with its story, craft, and spirit.

This year, we had the good fortune to sit down with Amy Greene as part of our new documentary, “Dream Job,” about the growth of New England Filmmaking. She shared her journey. Amy and her producing partner, Chris Stinson, worked on The Holdovers, and she shared some wonderful insights.

Enjoy this clip, and congratulations to Amy Greene, Chris Stinson, David Hemingson, Alexander Payne, Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Matt Mania, Mike Henry, Christine Willard, and all of you who worked so hard to bring The Holdovers to the screen.

“Ahead of the film’s Apple TV+ release on Friday, the Globe caught up with longtime Massachusetts-based location manager Mark Fitzgerald, who’s worked on countless classic Boston films including “Good Will Hunting,” “Mystic River,” and “The Departed.” Fitzgerald, an Emerson grad and Framingham native, helped the Globe pop the hood open on “Spirited,” scene-by-scene.

“The whole thing was shot within 30 miles of Boston,” Fitzgerald said. “There were three ginormous locations on the movie where most of the scenes were shot …

All said, “Spirited” shot in Boston, Braintree, Devens, Everett, Framingham, Lynnfield, Melrose, Weymouth, and Worcester over the course of four months.�Fitzgerald, who’s wrapping up work on the Liam Neeson movie “Thug,” also filming in Boston, said the city makes his job easy: “They’re beyond helpful in every way. We go to them with these ideas, and they come back with a list of things to do to figure it out and make it work. . . . 2023 and beyond should just be getting bigger and bigger.”�

It may feel early, but a new film starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds is about to jump-start a season of holiday streaming. Location manager Mark Fitzgerald popped open the hood on the Boston-based production.
