The number of filming permits issued by New York City declined in June from previous months and fell sharply from a year ago amid a WGA strike and continued uncertainty over the status of SAG-AFTRA. The actors’ contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expired June 30 with no deal but the two sides agreeing to extend talks through June 12 — at 11:59 pm PT.
With an industry on edge and much at stake, some 471 permits were issued for 184 projects in June, down from 549 permits for 188 projects in May, according to data provided by the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment. Permits issued in June of 2022 were 834 for 254 projects — so a drop of well over 40% from a year ago.
A decline that started this spring saw 662 permits for 187 projects in April, and 679 permits for 135 projects in March across the five boroughs. No one wanted to be stuck with a shoot that risked straddling the initial June 30 contract deadline for both SAG-AFTRA and the DGA, and potentially having to shut down. Directors signed a deal with the AMPTP that was ratified by members on June 23.
The industry in NYC has been clawing its way out of Covid and had been close to pre-pandemic levels. Production is a big economic driver for the city. In its latest economic impact report in 2021, MOME said filmed entertainment supported about 185,000 jobs, $18 billion in wages and nearly $82 billion in total economic output in 2019.
Talks with the WGA have been stalled since the guild went on strike in early May. Writers have been picketing almost daily with strike action shutting down productions on both coasts as members of other unions, including Teamsters, opt not to cross picket lines. An actors’ strike would pretty much

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic In 2020, Jenna Lyons starred in “Stylish,” a thrillingly, almost decadently awkward reality series on the service then called HBO Max. This was putatively an “Apprentice”-style show intended to find Lyons, a recognizable face to style-watchers as the former creative director and president of the retailer J. Crew, an all-purpose consigliere. But the show leaned all the way into its star’s evident discomfort with having to make choices. Lyons, a striking but diffident presence onscreen, shrank from defining the role the series’ “winner” might play, or from revealing much at all about her vision for her own post-J. Crew future. The uncertainty the halting, abrupt Lyons left in her wake made “Stylish” a must-watch for historians of aughts fashion personalities, but seemed, too, to ensure that this would be Lyons’ first and last foray into reality television.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Federico Fellini’s post-war immigration story “Napoli-New York,” which was penned for the big screen by the famed director but never produced, is set to become a graphic novel written by French comic book writer Jean-David Morvan.
