Production studio to be developed in Tryad's RTP

According to the Tryad Group, owner of the Rochester Technology Park (RTP), and Emmy Award-winning director and producer Alex Miltsch, they have created Rochester Park Studios, a planned entertainment industry destination and home to state-of-the-art production facilities. In its first phase, Rochester Park Studios facilities would be developed in buildings 2 and 3 of the tech park and include permanent sound stages, planned back-lot locations, post-production facilities, dedicated production office space, and mixed-use space to accommodate production industry vendors and support companies. Dedicated sound stages and studio office space will accommodate production from pre to post. "Rochester Park Studios will be the premier place in upstate New York for creative professionals, including the local talent that defines Rochester's reputable production scene," said Miltsch, president and founder of Rochester Park Studios. "Thanks to the Tryad Group and Rochester Technology Park, the vision to create Rochester Park Studios — which began in 2006 as 'Productionville' — is now well on its way to reality." "The planned development of Rochester Park Studios is another feather in the cap for the local film industry," said Rosie Taravalla, executive director of the Rochester High Falls International Film Festival. "We look forward to working with Alex and the Tech Park team in growing what will be another vital resource for the production of film, television and music here in Rochester." Tryad principal Josh Yashar sees Rochester Park Studios as an opportunity to expand economic development and create jobs in the Rochester region. The planned investment in Rochester Park Studios is undisclosed. However, Miltsch is in the process of forming a strategic development group comprised of industry players, development partners and local business and community leaders.
