Filming New York

An exploration of New York City film permits

Ever wondered about those film permits you see around the city?

Created for INFO 664 Programming for Cultural Heritage at Pratt Institute, this project investigates filming trends from 2012 through early 2021. I used a dataset from NYC Open Data to answer the following questions:

Which zip code is the most filmed?

What kind of productions are filmed in each zip code?

sample of category/borough viz

What kind of productions are filmed in each borough?

sample of borough/year viz

How many productions are filmed in each borough per year?
