Adirondack Film Commission
The Adirondack Film Society (AFS) has been charged by Essex County with the mission of also serving as the Adirondack Film Commission to promote film, TV and video production in Essex County and to assist filmmakers and videographers when they arrive. It works closely with the NYS Governor’s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development (MVTV) in offering film, television and commercial production and post-production tax credits for qualified expenditures in New York State.
