OPINION: Movies and TV in the Big City: The good and the bad
A recent article in the Eagle by Mary Frost covered Mayor Bill de Blasio’s appointment of Cynthia Lopez as commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting.
De Blasio made his announcement at Brooklyn’s Steiner Studios, the largest studio complex on the East Coast.
The accomplishments of Steiner Studios are impressive. In a relatively short time, it has attracted major TV shows such as “Boardwalk Empire,” “Girls” and “Flight of the Conchords” as well as major films such as “The Producers: The Movie Musical,” “Spider-man 3,” “The Nanny Diaries,” “Revolutionary Road” and “Mr. Popper’s Penguins.”
