Watertown, New York is a small community of around 27,000 people, located in northern New York State along the scenic Black River, not far from the Canadian border. Although a relatively rural community, Watertown has the advantage of beautiful natural scenery in close proximity (including many scenic waterfalls along the river, and the eastern banks of Lake Ontario a short distance away), as well as plenty of historic buildings--making it a great place to spot filming locations. Additionally, cities such as Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, New York City and Boston are all in driving distance. If you are looking at a filmmaking career as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, Watertown affords more opportunity than you might think.
