Filming Requirements

Filming on both private and public property requires a film permit. Each filming location requires at least one film permit.
  1. We prepare your permit in consultation with your location manager to specify all the activities that will affect the specified location.
  2. We issue permits to your company upon giving a final approval of all your activities.
  3. Your senior production staff must review the permit before filming begins.
  4. Your location manager or assistant location manager must be on location during filming.
