This past weekend I heard a friend tell me an unfortunate story of how a film shoot on his block ruined an important family event. His event had been 6 months in the planning. He received a two-day notice of the filming. He was lamenting that there was nothing anyone could do.
In fact there is something he could have done.
According to Arturo Pina a FilmLA, if you contact FilmLA prior to your event and give them a date, they will not issue a filming permit that would be a conflict. So, if you are planning an important event, consider notifying FilmLA and request that they withhold any permits that conflict with your festivities.
And, it wouldn't be a bad idea to notify your Town Council Member at the same time.
How are filming permits issued for Altadena? How can I host a film shoot? Are there any limits on filming? Who should I contact if there's a problem with a production? www.altadenafilming.org is a resource for learning about filming in our community.
That’s a great event planning tip! I will definitely keep all this in mind while planning my upcoming birthday bash. Looking for an affordable event space Chicago having vintage interior to host my party in budget.
