It's one of the last attempts by outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to grow independent, digitally minded film and entertainment companies here.
There are 8.5 million people in New York. Over 130,000 of them work in traditional film and television. Many of those work in Manhattan, but more and more they're migrating to Brooklyn--or as Borough President Marty Markowitz calls it, "Hollywood East." And of those, a small handful have landed at the "Made in NY" Media Center, which just this month welcomed its first anchor tenants and incubator members into the street-level DUMBO facility.
