Movie producers and directors love filming in Connecticut. According to Wikipedia, as of 2023, 135 movies have been filmed or partially shot in Connecticut. According to the Newstimes, Hollywood producer Jonathan Black is gearing up for his third project, with filming planned for Danbury, Newtown, Bethel, and New Milford. During an interview with the Newstimes, Black said, 

“I can’t divulge the (film) title, but we are going to be shooting in Danbury, Newtown, Bethel, and New Milford.” It’s a five-week shoot, which is pretty substantial.”

Black was responsible for the shooting schedule in greater Danbury for the major motion picture "Summerhouse," featuring Malcolm McDowell and Jacob Ward.

The Greater Danbury area has become a hidden gem for filmmakers. Its picturesque scenery and small-town charm make it an ideal backdrop for various cinematic projects. Unsurprisingly, a Hollywood producer who relocated to Newtown has recognized this potential.

Jonathan has had an impressive career spanning 20 years, excelling in the roles of Producer, Executive Producer, Co-Producer, and Physical Production Services Provider. He is known for his exceptional abilities overseeing productions from script to distribution, specifically focusing on physical production. As a Partner and Producer at Chair 10 Productions, he brings his wealth of experience to offer production services in Connecticut.

Jonathan also started the piCT Initiative to attract more productions to the Nutmeg State and runs Chair 10's operations. He is devoted to supporting and bolstering the filmmaking industry, having co-founded and served on the executive board of the Connecticut Film and TV Alliance.
