INDUSTRY. CINE GEAR NY PREVIEW

COMMUNITY FEEL Bringing panels and educational series to professionals and students alike

ON LOCATION The first Cine Gear Expo took place in Hollywood in 1996, but this is the first time the event will come to the Industry City portion of NYC, the fast-growing, thriving production community along the Brooklyn Upper Bay waterside. Grosso says the historic Industry City complex in Sunset Park has become home to numerous motion picture technology companies and is a melting pot for creatives. “It is poised to become New York’s preeminent filmmaking educational centre,” she explains. “Both days will feature panels and educational series conducted by leaders in the field. The location also offers an entertainment complex of international eateries, bars,

and cinematography professionals of New York, including an exhibition and seminar programme.” Grosso says the expo is receiving a warm welcome from the local production societies, guilds, unions and media – as well as state and city officials. “We are seen as an exciting new addition to the industry events calendar,” she adds. “This expo will offer the film and television industry a great opportunity to showcase its brands and network in person, as the production business in New York continues to rebound from the pandemic. Working with partners, building strong relationships and supporting local business has always been our priority.”
