Included in the deal were the soundstages A, B, and F. the selected students were chosen specifically by NYU instructors and they will have charge-free access to the studios' equipment, Crain's reported.

The aforementioned deal was initiated by Kaufman Astoria Studios, according to Joe Pichirallo, the chair of the Department of Undergraduate Film & Television of Tisch School of Arts. The deal offers an incredible opportunity for students to get the feeling of what it is like to shoot on a real soundstage, Pichirallo added.

The deal was also a win-win situation, as described by Kaufman Astoria Studios' CEO and current president, Hal Rosenbluth. Furthermore, he recognized NYU film students as future clients. He also said that KAS implants a little knowledge and plants a seed for the future. Rosenbluth hopes that these students stays in New York and keep populating the arts, Variety reported.
