 NY State Post Production Tax Credit
NY State has increased the NY State Post Production tax credit to 30% for post production work done within the Metropolitan commuter region (including NY City and surrounding counties), and to 35% for post-production expenditures in locations elsewhere in the state. This program is designed to give producers whose films were shot outside of the state a financial incentive to do post-production work in New York. This program is separate from and in addition to the New York State Film Production tax credit program (which includes post production). Eligible productions include feature films, episodic TV series, TV pilots and presentations and TV movies and miniseries.

 Roy Hendrickson's Studio R
On the fourth floor penthouse that overlooks the NY City skyline sits Studio R, the room of seasoned engineer Roy Hendrickson. Equipped with a well tuned control room, a small booth, racks of vintage outboard gear and a few choice analog tape machines, Roy has been mixing all manners of musical styles, from jazz, folk, rock to electro pop. Artists he has recently worked with include Empire of the Sun, George Michael, Tom Wopat, and Mika. When he needs to he can jump from tracking in one of the Avatar rooms and then immediately start mixing in his room. If you are in need of a quality mixer, look him up. |
