N.Y.C. is here too we're standing now right next to commission we will Bryan of the police department and I wish you could tell us the mission to find exactly why the city has such an interest in this film while living there you reason is a very simple this is the first picture that has been made in its entirety within the city of New York. Former felons have been made and caught by some of the scenes were taken right in the city but most of the what a great part of the work was done in the studios outside of the city and this one I believe only the principal character the star on the coast or important for this picture all the other stars were from the equity in New York City and every scene was taken right in the city of New York and that will stay interested so this is really mark mark something big and you are for New York as a filmmaking capital Well we hope that it is the first step in making the you off the phone capital of the world and I guess the police department cooperation Tiley with the companies when they have the shots on the streets and so on right well that's true I'm sure without the cooperation of the police department they would need a lot of obstacles that otherwise overcome by our presence and by out cooperation we're very happy to do it in the interest of the city and in the interest of the motion picture industry at large Well I hope it turns out to be a good picture thanks for talking with this commission or Brian thanks.
