Think Film
Lights, Camera, Action... WESTCHESTER!
Ever get that “Haven’t I been here before?” feeling when traveling?
In Westchester, there’s a good reason the scenery looks familiar — you’ve been seeing our County for years as the setting for countless TV series and movies.
Some of the hottest shows on TV have been filmed in Westchester, including Mr. Robot, Orange is the New Black, Boardwalk Empire, Royal Pains, Person of Interest, The Blacklist, Elementary, The Americans and The Following.
Proximity to New York City, convenient sound stages in Yonkers, and every possible backdrop — from a 19th-century Gothic Revival mansion to famed Sing Sing Prison — make Westchester a popular pick for film crews.
We have idyllic towns — see The Good Wife. We have artsy downtowns — check out HBO’s Girls. We have scenic countryside views — filmed by the Coen brothers in Inside Llewyn Davis. And we have one-of-a-kind spots like Rye’s Art Deco Playland amusement park — remember the grant-a-wish scene in Tom Hanks’ Big?
You’ll see Westchester in films like The Intern with Robert Di Niro, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty starring Ben Stiller, and Martin Scorcese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.
Mount Vernon alone has starred in Riding In Cars With Boys, The Thomas Crown Affair and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
