The New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission (NJMPTVC), operating under the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), has announced an extension of the public comment period for proposed changes to its Film Ready New Jersey Program requirements. The new deadline for comments is now set for January 3, 2025.
The Film Ready New Jersey Program is designed as a multi-step training and certification initiative aimed at equipping communities to support film and television productions. The program also seeks to effectively market municipalities as attractive destinations for filming activities. The proposed amendments are intended to enhance program consistency, thereby boosting New Jersey's competitiveness in attracting film productions compared to other states. Key areas of focus in the new requirements include filming guidelines and associated fees.
