Is Jersey the New Hollywood?

Ever wondered what it takes to transport stars, crew, and equipment for major film productions? In this fun and educational conversation with Nick Day, co-CEO of Edge Auto, we learn how New Jersey has transformed into a filmmaking powerhouse that rivals any location worldwide.

The Garden State is experiencing a cinematic renaissance, fueled by Governor Murphy's film tax credit program that has attracted Netflix, Lionsgate, and countless productions to set up permanent operations. When these companies film on location, they need everything from luxury SUVs for stars to box trucks for equipment—all of which Edge Auto provides with their employee-owned business model that ensures exceptional service.

Listen up as Nick shares fascinating insights about the logistics that make productions possible, from partnering with Teamsters Local 817 for professional drivers to expanding their fleet with electric vehicles. He explains why New Jersey has become so attractive to filmmakers: its incredible geographical diversity allows productions to shoot beach scenes one day and mountain sequences the next, all within short driving distances.

2025 NJ Film Expo - The Screen Alliance of New Jersey is having its first huge event at the Meadowlands this Thursday, May 1st. It's open to the public, so check it out and register.
