Is New York good for film too?

<p>So I know that LA has the most film opportunities in the country, but my plan after college is to do both theater and independent film, and I have heard that New York has a great independent film industry. Is there a lot of work for actors there who want to do what I want to do? Is it more competitive in New York? Is it hard to come to New York after college if I'm coming from LA?</p>
