Long Island City, once an industrial town, transformed into a vibrant neighborhood thanks in part to Silvercup Studios, which started in 1983. The studios, stemming from a former bread factory, now focus on nurturing local filmmakers by expanding educational initiatives. They recently partnered with LaGuardia Community College and the newly established Motion Picture Technical High School to provide facilities and resources aimed at traditionally underrepresented talent. Students received hands-on experience in film production, learning vital skills from industry veterans, as Silvercup aims to equip them with tools for successful careers in the film and television industry.
Long Island City has transitioned from an industrial town to a hub for film production, with Silvercup Studios playing a key role in nurturing local talent.
Silvercup Studios, founded in 1983, has become one of NYC's largest production facilities, now dedicated to supporting local talent through educational initiatives.
