Albany is the state capital of New York, hosting an in-town population of roughly 93,000 people, but anchoring a much larger greater metro area of nearly 900,000. Conveniently situated within a few hours of other major cities like Boston, Toronto, Buffalo and New York City, Albany sees a sizable amount of shows and cultural events that come through the area on their way to other stops. Several production companies make their home in Albany, and New York City is roughly 3 hours to the south, making this area a great alternate location for aspiring film directors, film producers and film editors who want opportunities to learn without having to move into the craziness of NYC.
