This week on Your New Jersey, Lisa Marie Falbo sits down with John Crowley, Executive Director of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission, to explore the Garden State’s booming entertainment industry, from major studio developments and blockbuster productions to the jobs and economic opportunities being created across the state.
Crowley shares why New Jersey is becoming a top destination for filmmakers, the growth of studios from Netflix, Paramount and Lionsgate, the state’s expanding production infrastructure and workforce, and how communities are preparing to welcome more productions. Plus, we’ll also take a look at the 2026 New Jersey Film Expo and how new training programs are helping the next generation of filmmakers build careers right here at home.
