This development season, the most lucrative genre filmed in New York more than ever before, while the Los Angeles share fell to a record low.

During this past development cycle, more drama pilots were filmed in New York City than in Los Angeles for the first time ever, amplifying California’s runaway production problem and the growth of movie and TV production activity in New York thanks to generous government incentives.

During the 2013-14 pilot season, which ran from January through April, New York was the city of choice for 24 drama pilots compared to 19 in Los Angeles. That was one of the revelations in an annual report on TV pilot production by nonprofit group Film LA released Tuesday. Film LA’s lead researcher, Adrian McDonald, says that makes New York “North America’s most attractive location for one-hour TV pilot production.”

New York production has been on the rise since 2009, when it boosted tax incentives available for movies and TV to one of the highest levels in the nation, currently allocating $430 million a year to its incentive program.

Not sure if this applies to porn, but it could be another potential cause.
