You Should Be Shooting in Hoboken.
The Tri-State’s Premiere Soundstage is closer to Midtown than Brooklyn.
Hollywood on the Hudson
In video, film and content creation, technologies evolve so rapidly that it can be hard to stay ahead. To help with that, we offer the Industry’s best production tools, AND we help you use them to your advantage. Hoboken’s got the East Coast’s first Virtual Backlot, cutting-edge motion control robotics, and everything you need to elevate your image.
15 Minutes from Midtown
We like Brooklyn, but we love the convenience of our Hoboken headquarters even more! During rush hour, our two locations are a quick reverse commute from the city. Much faster to get to and from Manhattan on the flip flop. Whether you come by car, NY Waterway ferry, or PATH train, getting here is fast and easy. Head WEST, and see why we love it here in the “West, West Village.”
Our Tax Breaks Top New York’s – hands down.
New Jersey’s Film & TV Tax Credit includes up to 35% percent of ABOVE AND BELOW the line on qualified expenses for productions in New Jersey while New York’s tax credit pertains to only below the line expenses. New Jersey also incentivizes hiring diverse casts and crews with a 2% tax credit for using at least 15 percent women and minorities.
Two Unique Locations
Cobalt Stages spans two locations that are located one minute, thirty seconds apart by Lime Scooter! The Hoboken House is our fully-furnished, sun-drenched 2000 square foot Carriage House—a private and quiet place to park your production. Annnnd, Cobalt’s 12,000 sq. ft. production facility features a 7,000 sq. ft. soundstage, 20 ft. ceilings, and state-of-the-art onsite equipment access.
It’s Hipper in Hoboken
Chosen as one of Apartment Therapy’s Coolest Suburbs in America 2019, Hoboken offers historic charm, cool shops, and great food. Also awarded “Most Walkable” in its category, we love getting around via Lime Scooter. Want to kick back after production wraps for the day? Grab a burger at The Elysian Café, Hoboken’s oldest bar– many, many others to choose from, too.
We love working on the West Side where there’s somethin’ for everyone—schedule a tour today, and we’ll show you around!
