MORRIS COUNTY — Randolph Township has officially been certified as a Film Ready Community by the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission (NJMPTVC). This designation places Randolph among a select group of municipalities across the state that have met the rigorous standards for efficiently and professionally supporting film and television production.
The Film Ready New Jersey Program, an initiative of NJMPTVC, provides a standardized and streamlined framework that film studios, producers, and location scouts value when selecting production sites. Communities that earn the certification demonstrate readiness through clear permitting processes, dedicated municipal contacts, and established policies that welcome and support on-location filming.
“Becoming a certified Film Ready town is an exciting milestone for Randolph,” said Randolph Mayor Joe Hathaway. “This designation opens the door for new opportunities to showcase our beautiful community while supporting local businesses and boosting our economy.”
As part of the program, Randolph has appointed Assistant Township Manager Evan Covello as its Film Ready Liaison to assist productions and ensure smooth coordination across municipal departments.
“Randolph’s Film Ready certification shows our commitment to supporting the arts and welcoming innovative projects into our community. We look forward to working with filmmakers and helping them discover why Randolph is an exceptional place to create” said Evan Covello.
With this certification, Randolph stands prepared to host filmmakers and production companies seeking dynamic shooting locations, strong municipal support, and a community eager to participate in New Jersey’s growing film industry.
Randolph is poised to become a canvas for filmmakers, where stories can be imagined, created, and brought to life!
