We were fortunate to recently welcome the dynamic duo from the New Jersey Film Office — Jon Crowley, Executive Director, and David Schoner, Jr., Deputy Executive Director — to Eastern Effects’ 100,000‑square‑foot Equipment Headquarters in Wood‑Ridge, NJ.

Jon and David have been incredible champions of the industry and a genuine source of support in helping drive business to Eastern Effects’ 10 Basin Studios and throughout the region. During their visit, we toured them through our Wood‑Ridge facility, which supplies lighting, grip, electric, trucking, and expendables for short‑ and long‑form content across New Jersey and beyond.

Let them know what a bang‑up job they’re doing for production in the Garden State. David Schoner

Huge thanks to Max Cea and Filmmaker Magazine for featuring Eastern Effects leadership in their deep dive into the "Jerseywood" boom! We’re thrilled to see 10 Basin Studios highlighted as a key part of New Jersey’s growing production landscape.

In the feature, our CMO Sheryl Victor Levy discusses the incredible advantage of NJ’s local supplier network, while President Scott Levy credits the state’s success to the NJ Film Commission’s proactive approach to solving production "pain points" and providing "white-glove service." As the industry continues to shift toward the Garden State, we’re excited to keep providing the space and support that major productions need to thrive, including being the current home to CBS’s Cupertino at 10 Basin Studios.

Great being part of the 2nd Annual NJ Film Expo alongside our green energy partners, and Saniset Fleet. Always a pleasure connecting with old friends, meeting new faces, and sharing what we’ve been working on—from equipment rental and trucking to our soundstages, 10 Basin Studios in Kearny and Annex 302, our multi-platform facility in Brooklyn.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by (and played a round of Plinko with us), and a big shoutout to the NJ Film Commission, Jon Crowley, David Schoner, Charles Riccardi, Gary Paz, and the entire NJEDA and SANJ team for a fantastic event.

As always, we look forward to continuing the conversation—and don’t forget to take a look at our latest mobile battery units from Saniset Fleet and Vortex lighting inventory for your next production.

Yesterday, Scott Levy, Founder and President of Eastern Effects, was honored to be a guest speaker at the New Jersey Film Commission Board Meeting, joining an esteemed group of industry and state leaders shaping the future of film and television in New Jersey.

In attendance were Eric Weiss, Head of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, Jon Crowley and David Schoner of the New Jersey Film Commission, members of the NJ Film Commission Advisory Board, and fellow industry colleagues. Scott was invited to speak about Eastern Effects’ expansion and its headquarters relocation to New Jersey, including the extensive build‑out of 10 Basin Studios, our EQ warehouse and support facility in Wood‑Ridge, and the growing production ecosystem taking shape across the state.

Scott also highlighted several standout projects that have called our stages home since opening, including The Rip, Jimmy Fallon’s On Brand, Little Brother, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Harlan Coben’s Shelter, commercials with Toyota, Michelob, Volvo and more, and the current CBS and Paramount series Cupertino, run by showrunners Michelle King and Robert King. These productions represent the breadth of creative work now thriving in New Jersey—and the collaboration between studios, crews, and state leadership making it possible.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to share our story and to be part of this ongoing conversation.

Thank you to the New Jersey Film Commission and its partners for the continued leadership, vision, and support. We’re excited for what’s ahead. David Schoner
