Filming in Los Angeles is beginning again, but slowly. Since permission was granted to productions to resume in mid-June, FilmLA, the official film office of the City and County of Los Angeles, has received around 577 permit applications for 422 separate projects. This is roughly 34% of the number they would expect to receive during the normally busy summer months, and very few of them are for high-end film or TV projects, which aren’t expected to return until early September.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that there are few other industries seeking to reopen as responsibly as the film business. Hundreds of smaller projects have successfully applied safe set practices as outlined in state and local public health orders. Meanwhile, continuing dialogue between studio and labor representatives is driving focused attention to cast, crew and vendor safety and compliance.”
Paul Audley, President, FilmLA
