Movie buffs and television fans will soon have a dedicated roadmap to explore the Garden State’s rich cinematic history, as legislation sponsored by Assemblyman William F. Moen Jr. establishing the New Jersey Film Trail was officially signed into law.
Sponsored by Moen (D-Camden, Gloucester) alongside Assemblywoman Margie Donlon (D-Monmouth), the new law directs the Division of Travel and Tourism—in consultation with the Motion Picture and Television Development Commission—to identify and catalog famous filming locations statewide.
As part of the initiative, the state will develop an interactive website featuring filming sites, photos, directions, and curated itineraries. These guides are designed to direct visitors toward nearby restaurants, lodging, and local entertainment, turning cinematic tourism into an economic driver for small businesses.
