From Cairo to Paris: How 'Marty Supreme' Filmed in Westchester

When A24’s “Marty Supreme” brought camels to a Sound Shore beach, it showed what's possible when Westchester locations work together to support production. Playland Park in Rye doubled as 1950s Cairo, while the historic Westchester County Center became a Paris venue — helping filmmakers create global settings close to New York City. Supporting a large cast and crew required coordinated permitting, flexible access, and strong local collaboration. These efforts help attract major projects that generate revenue for local municipalities and businesses, create jobs, and build hometown pride as Westchester appears on screen. Film-friendly communities play a vital role in keeping Westchester competitive for future productions. Read more on our blog.

When a fast-moving commercial shoot needed an arena setting on short notice, the Westchester County Center delivered. A new BODYARMOR spot featuring NBA All-Star Jalen Brunson filmed at the White Plains arena one day after the production team scouted the location, according to associate producer Mike Villucci. Easy access, efficient load-in, and a dynamic game-ready backdrop helped the production stay on schedule. Watch it here.
