New York's cultural and artistic community attracts people from around the globe — making the city a natural home for the expansive possibilities of digital-era entertainment. However, the city lacks the full-scale, media-campus style production facilities built-up over the years in Los Angeles and the sprawling landscape on which to build them. Wildflower's solution: a vertical village for film production in Astoria, Queens, combining the collaborative environment of a Hollywood-style studio with the latest in digital production capability, and developed in partnership with lifelong New Yorker Robert De Niro. In 2021, the City approved plans for the multi-level, 775,042 square foot complex, which will include a publicly accessible waterfront esplanade and create well over 1,000 permanent new union jobs.
