A new home for creativity is taking shape in Yonkers. 🎥

Great Point Studios is doing more than bringing film productions to the city, it’s creating opportunities for the artists, creators and professionals who bring those productions to life.

As Montay puts it, the growth of the film industry here has helped create “a new world for the artists,
the content creators.”

Big productions. Local careers. New possibilities. Think Yonkers. 🎬
