Location: Buffalo, New York

Join Buffalo’s Booming Film Scene | ArtCube Nation

Buffalo, New York, has emerged as a vibrant hub for film production, attracting a variety of movie projects and offering immense opportunities for local artists, vendors, and freelancers in the Art Department. As an experienced crew member in this field, I’ve witnessed firsthand the growth and potential of Buffalo’s film industry.

Why Buffalo is a Film Industry Gem:

Diverse Filming Locations: Buffalo’s architectural diversity and scenic landscapes have made it a sought-after filming location. From the historical charm of its downtown to the picturesque waterfront and suburban settings, Buffalo offers a range of backdrops suitable for various film genres.
Growing Film Community: The local film scene is thriving, with groups like Buffalo Film Extras fostering a community of filmmakers, musicians, and artists. This collaborative environment is ideal for networking and growth.
Recent Productions: Buffalo has hosted several film productions, including “Conflicted II: The Prequel,” as reported by WIVB. These projects not only showcase the city’s versatility as a filming location but also create numerous job opportunities for local talent.
Supportive Infrastructure: The Buffalo Niagara Film Commission actively promotes film production in the region, offering resources like location scouting, permit assistance, and a comprehensive crew base. This support system is invaluable for those working in the Art Department.
