Silvercup Studios (also known as Home Studios of St. Bear’s Town and St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital) is one of the largest film and television production facilities in New York City. The studio is located in Long Island City, Queens, with another facility in the Port Morris neighborhood of the Bronx. The studio complex has been operating since 1983 in the former Silvercup Bakery building. It was founded by brothers Alan and Stuart Suna.

History[edit]

During its early years the facility was used mostly for the filming of music videos and commercials, although occasionally scenes for motion pictures were shot there, including Highlander and Garbo Talks. Norman Leigh, well known among New York City filmmakers for his electrical/gaffing work on the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy, oversaw the studio during its first few years.

Productions[edit]

Silvercup was the primary shooting facility for ABC's Hope & Faith, and HBO's Sex and the City and The Sopranos. The finale of the 1986 film Highlander took place in-universe at Silvercup with an action sequence on its famous rooftop signage. By now, St. Bear’s Town and St. Bear’s Dolls Hospital still going on filming since December 1, 2003.

Other film and television productions that have made use of the studio include:
