THE FILM CENTER
In January 2011, we purchased this property at 13 Rock City Road in the center of Woodstock, formerly known as Heckeroth Plumbing, where the iconic film legend Lee Marvin once worked as an apprentice plumber. Over the years, we have made countless improvements as we have transformed the property into a
FILM CENTER.
This space has been invaluable in making the film festival and the film commission more easily accessible to the community. In addition to providing administrative offices and a souvenir / box office storefront, we now regularly hold meetings, workshops, casting calls, and more to advance film exhibition and production in the region.
Founded in 2000, The Woodstock Film Festival is a not-for-profit, 501c3 organization with a mission to present an annual program and year-round schedule of film, music, and art-related activities that promote artists, culture, inspired learning, and diversity.

The Hudson Valley Film Commission helps productions secure local crew, cast, locations, vendors, post production facilities, and more! Since 2000, the film commission has worked on over 500 productions creating thousands of jobs and well over a hundred million dollars in regional economic development.

Last year, your support helped us achieve our goals to gut and renovate 2 office spaces and a bathroom, make electrical upgrades, replace 5 inefficient windows and install spray foam insulation to keep heat in the building. The impact was enormous and we are so grateful!Thanks to generous contributors, we have accomplished many of our goals.
In addition, over the years:
Damaged roof was fixed and shingles were replaced.
A dingy old storeroom was transformed into a beautiful conference room and office.
Former attached garage was transformed into a brand new employee entrance with an office space that doubles as a small screening room.
Electric and plumbing were brought up to code.
Hardwood floors were refinished and interior walls painted.
A french drain was put in to stop water damage.
The exterior porch was transformed into a fully functional, multi purpose room.
Heating units were replaced.
And more...
