Our Story
Producers from New York and Los Angeles are discovering the advantages and convenience of producing in Fairfield County and the Greater Stamford area. In addition to NBCUniversal’s nationally syndicated hits Maury, Jerry, and Steve, television projects such as The Big C, Are We There Yet?, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire as well as television groups like NBC Sports have all made the move in recent years, producing in studio space and locations throughout Southeastern Connecticut.
A strong, established workforce combined with a superior transportation network has facilitated an easy transition. The city of Stamford, home to many such projects, is conveniently located just 30 miles from Manhattan, on the main branch of the New Haven Line on the Metro-North Railroad.
The Office of Film, Television and Digital Media is a supportive partner with a goal of enhancing Connecticut’s industry presence. The film office is the statewide contact and production liaison for all entities wishing to work within the state as well as the administrators of the tax credit programs cultivated to increase industry development.
