In addition to helping bring entertainment industry shoots to Otsego County and the surrounding area, the region’s new film commission, Film Otsego, also provides support for local high-school students pursuing film or art studies in college.
This summer, four graduating seniors from Otsego County were awarded Film Otsego scholarships: Crystal Castle, Cooperstown Central School; Tanner Jennings, Oneonta City School District; Emma Klehr, Unatego Central School; and Ryan VanValkenburg, Otsego Northern Catskills BOCES.
