A new film commission in Utica aims to bring more movie-making to Central New York. The Stanley Theatre announced Tuesday that Film Utica, the first-ever fully operational film commission in Utica, has received final approval and will operate out of the historic theater. 'It is exciting to start building this business for Utica,' The Stanley Theatre Executive Director Lisa Wilsey said in a statement. 'Film and television production has been missing in the economics of the region and we are excited to spearhead this venture that will contribute to our tax base, create jobs, attract new business and contribute to economic stability in the region.
