The City contracts with FilmL.A. to provide streamlined permit processing for all commercial filming and still photography.
The filming fee is different depending on whether the project is a student assignment or general in nature. An encroachment fee will also be applied if the filming project is within the public right-of-way such as a sidewalk or street. Current Fee Schedule
Filming and/or photography may take place between the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in residential areas. However, requests outside the general hours will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The City may require surveys of neighborhoods to determine related impacts and mitigation considerations.
