Production Manager Services

Here is how the work lines up. Production managers working through our New York roster have built careers across Steiner Studios features and series at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Silvercup originals in Long Island City, Kaufman Astoria shoots in Astoria and Broadway Stages projects in Greenpoint, Bushwick and Sunset Park, with credits spanning Marvel and Sony tentpoles, HBO and Showtime series, Netflix and Apple TV+ originals, Amazon and Hulu commissions, and the steady stream of indie features that Tribeca alumni continue to mount on the boroughs.

Here is the layout. Many carry credits with A24, Plan B, Killer Films, Annapurna, Likely Story, RT Features and the New York production offices of the major studios, and they are fluent in the regulatory layer global producers mostly need translated on arrival. Empire State Development PCN certification for the 30 percent New York State Film Tax Credit and the 10 percent NYC post-prod uplift, MOME (Made in NY) Optional Filming Permits, NYPD Movie/TV Unit planning for street closures and lock-ups, NYC DOT parking authorisations, Parks Department permits for Central Park, Prospect Park, the High Line and Brooklyn Bridge Park, NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission protocols for designated historic districts, FAA and NYPD dual drone permits, and the OSHA 30 mandate that covers each IATSE crew working in the city.

Here is how the work shapes up. On a shooting day, a New York production manager from our network drives call-sheet execution, basecamp logistics across the tight Midtown and Lower Manhattan staging footprint, transport planning through Teamsters Local 817 fleets and across the Holland, Lincoln, Midtown, Brooklyn-Battery and Queens-Midtown tunnels, NYC FDNY licensed safety officer oversight when needed by MOME, IATSE shop-steward liaison and department escalations, while feeding accurate status reports to the line producer and showrunner.

Here is how it adds up. They have set relationships across Steiner's 30-plus stages including the new Hudson Yards stages and Steiner Bushwick, the seven stages at Silvercup, the nine stages at Kaufman Astoria, the Broadway Stages footprint across Brooklyn and Queens, the Cine Magic stages on the South Bronx waterfront and the newer York Studios in the Bronx, and they know the working realities of shooting across Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, the FDR, the Williamsburg Bridge, Roosevelt Island and the upstate locations from Yonkers and Sleepy Hollow through the Hudson Valley.

Here is the run-down. They agree vendor terms with rental houses such as TCS, Eye Lite, Hand Held Films, Adorama Rentals and Panavision New York, manage IATSE Local 52 and Local 161 deal memos, run payroll through Cast & Crew, Entertainment Partners and Wrapbook, and protect the qualifying-spend audit trail needed by Empire State Development. We match production managers based on scale, budget envelope, format and tax-credit structure.
