As the final build-up continues toward the 97th Academy Awards next Sunday, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority has taken the cue of eight nominations for “A Complete Unknown” to remind everyone the Bob Dylan biopic was filmed almost entirely in New Jersey over a period of more than 60 days, used the state’s Film Tax Credit Program, spent $81 million and hired over 4,700 crew members.
The production was filmed in 17 municipalities across New Jersey, said an NJEDA release, including Hoboken, Jersey City, Paterson, and Cape May. Locations in the state doubled as New York City, Pittsburgh, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and Northern California. “According to the Film Tax Activity Report, ‘A Complete Unknown’ and over 190 productions to date have recently been attracted to New Jersey by the state’s Film Tax Credit Program,” NJEDA stated.
More will likely be coming to new production studios that were the subject of Alexis Elmore’s reporting in March 2023. New Jersey’s film incentives were also the subject of a 2021 report by Savannah King Yawn. Meanwhile, New York’s film incentives, as documented by Gary Daughters in November 2023, raced to catch up in what one studio co-founder told him was “a film production arms race.”
