MOME, in its effort to support all filmmakers and make NYC the most frictionless place in the world to film, is proud to announce the first ever “Made in NY” Filmmaker Listening Tour taking place across the five boroughs this fall.

Commissioner Rafael Espinal and Deputy Commissioner of the Film Office Kwame Amoaku will lead the conversations by offering updates to MOME’s services, city resources, and production incentives.
