We are pleased to announce our fabulous Make Local Work Summer Benefit Honorary Hosts and Host Committee!

REASON # 7: MENTORSHIP

Once a trainee graduates from a Stockade Works program, that is far from the end, as career mentorship has always been an integral part of our success in making local work – and this is a part of our mission that is expanding!

Thanks to sponsorship from Key Bank, we currently have 10 top-of-their-field working industry professionals paired with 10 of our grads in 1-on-1 mentorships, covering:

Cinematography
Assistant Directing
Art Department
Editing + Post Production
Locations
Visual FX
Costume + Wardrobe

Join us at the Make Local Work Summer Benefit and support job placement and career mentorship!

REASON # 6: LOCAL CREW FOR LOCAL PRODUCTIONS

Did you know that Stockade Works has made over 5,000 referrals of local crew to jobs on over 250 film and/or TV productions?

And that is just the beginning! Every production that shoots in the Hudson Valley supports local lodging, hospitality, small businesses, and more.

Join us on July 10th and contribute to a strong, well-trained local crew base that makes the Hudson Valley a great place to film – creating economic benefits felt throughout our community!

REASON # 5: NETWORKING

Film and TV Production is a referral-based industry, and your network is incredibly valuable when it comes to getting sustainable work.

For this reason, we not only refer our graduates to local work, but we also encourage them to stay in touch and refer each other! With this in mind, Stockade Works hosts Crew Meet Ups throughout the year, bringing our grads together with other local, working, Film & TV professionals, to network and #makelocalwork as a community.

Meet up with us at Arrowood Farms for the Make Local Work Summer Benefit, and become a part of this wonderful, growing, creative network!

Get your tickets today for this unforgettable evening of live music from The Buvas; craft beverages from Arrowood Farms, and local tasty treats from Phoenicia Diner, Aloha Tacos, and Forno Rosso; plus Upstate Jamboree games and fun!
