Catskill Film Commission… bringing stories to life

The Sullivan Catskills is known for their historic relevance as the Borscht Belt, named for the famed summer resorts and hotels where the greats such as Jerry Lewis performed. Noted as a haven for artists, musicians, and writers, today the region is bursting with natural landscapes, charming small towns, and unique features.

These big mountains are home to even bigger stories, and you can tell your story right here. We have a multitude of exciting locations for your project from wide open spaces to small main streets.

Located just 90 minutes from New York City, the Sullivan Catskills is the perfect destination to make set-up and filming an easy task. Production companies can also benefit from New York State’s film tax incentive program and receive credit where eligible.

The Catskills have a rich history in the film industry—as the inspiration for Dirty Dancing, the home of the Woodstock festival, and the site for indie movies, television shows, commercials, and more.
