Disadvantages

• Traffic

The advantage is that the film shoot venues here are more economical than they are in New York City. The disadvantage is that you still need to budget more to work here than you would in other cities around the country.
  
  
• Weather
  Spring and fall are fantastic. Plan ahead for summer and winter. The summers can be hot and humid, with Long Island Sound being the saving grace. Winters are cold and snowy. This creates some travel challenges depending on what Mother Nature has planned.
