Huntington Office of Film & Television
The business of film and television production is rapidly growing! In response, Ed Smyth, Supervisor of the Town of Huntington (left in photo), appointed Joe Schramm (right in photo) to start up the Town’s new Office of Film & Television with the goal of promoting Huntington as a new hub for the film and TV production industry.
​
The Office has two objectives:
​
1: To increase the number of location shoots
2: To expand the number of production facilities in the Town
