 When the film industry began shooting films in New England with frequency in the early 2000s, old warehouses and office buildings were used for filming due to a lack of infrastructure in the region, leading to several groups of developers coming forward with plans to build full service studios.In November 2013, New England Studios (NEStudios) opened its 72,000 sq.foot, $41 million film studio in Devens, Massachusetts after the failure of Plymouth Rock Studios and Southfield Studios.
