Let us bring your film, television commercial, industrial video, corporate project, or any other video production from script to screen.

In addition to production services, we continue to support the artists community by offering classes and workshops that target all aspects of the entertainment industry. From acting and writing to final editing, we foster a collaborative attitude and, not only encourage, but nurture growth. IAC provides a home-base for artists to inspire one another to
create and obtain work, thereby strengthening the local artist community while casting light on the talents of the region. Our aim is to bring new productions to the Upstate area and serve as a hub between the Capital District and New York City.

According to co-founder, Evan Leone, "We have to get the word out that the Hudson Valley isn't just the place for an annual film festival. It's a hot-bed for talent. With our growth, I hope to bring attention to the talentedfilmmakers and productions being shot here. The City isn't the only place for 'made in New York' films."
