CAET Welcomes Cars and Stars to Queens

“The building is beautifully designed and it is versatile for filming. The Center has secretly doubled as The Museum of Natural History, FBI/CIA/ NSA headquarters, JFK airport and more. We understand what the film industry needs, and we make it very easy to film here.” Liggio continues, “Some of our regular automotive clients have been very excited when they recognize our famous silver wall in the atrium on TV. They get a real kick out of it!” In addition to these film/media shoots and its flagship automotive career development training, The Center welcomes enquiries from anyone wishing to host an event or seminar in a modern, fully catered, state of the art facility in Queens.

As a highly equipped and flexible space, the Center has become a surprising hit with movie, TV, advertisement and music video producers, particularly over the last eight years. “We have been working with the film industry since the Center first opened ten years ago,” says Kristine Liggio, CAET Executive Director.
