Expanding to Jersey City

In April 2021, the company announced on Instagram that it will be “pushing into new territory” with the new Caven Point studio in Jersey City, that we now discovered will be the state’s largest studio to boot.

Why Jersey City? “Location, Location, Location!”, according to Cinelease. The company said that Jersey City’s close proximity to New York City, Columbus Circle, the 8-mile SAG zone, and it being easily accessible by the PATH train, ferry, tunnels, and turnpike made it the perfect place to set up shop. Additionally, the NJ film production tax credit is guaranteed through 2028.

“Caven Point is the perfect space for keeping your production within one set of walls while allowing your team the ability to expand your production,” Cinelease states on the website.
