New Jersey’s film industry is having a major moment, and it’s only getting bigger. Later this month, the second annual New Jersey Film Expo returns to East Rutherford, bringing together industry leaders, creators, and businesses to showcase the Garden State’s rapidly growing role in film and television production.

Hosted by the Screen Alliance of New Jersey, the event will take place at Meadowlands Arena and is expected to draw thousands, following a hugely successful debut last year. With major productions choosing New Jersey, expanded infrastructure, and strong state support, including a keynote from Governor Mikie Sherrill, the expo highlights just how quickly the state is reclaiming its place as a hub for film and TV.

Joining us now is Nick Day, President of the Screen Alliance of New Jersey, to talk about what’s ahead and why this event matters.
