Founder and Client Since 1995

The County of Los Angeles is vast. At 4,061 square miles, it is larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island. At over 10,000,000 residents, its population is larger than that of 43 U.S. States. And, according to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, were L.A. County an independent nation, its economy would rank among the strongest in the world. This is Los Angeles, a cultural and economic powerhouse, and we're proud to call it our home.

Within the county's unincorporated areas and 88 incorporated cities dwells one of the most diverse urban populations in the world. Its hard work has helped cement Los Angeles'' status as a cultural icon and hub of international commerce. In addition, its creativity over generations has birthed our signature industry and provided the U.S. with one of its most recognizable cultural exports -- entertainment.

At FilmL.A., we owe our existence to the foresight of L.A. County officials. In conjunction with officials from the City of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors was instrumental in our creation in 1995.

Since then, we have helped streamline the County's film permit process, aided filmmakers to take advantage of the region's diverse locations and dealt proactively with the concerns of area residents and merchants inconvenienced by filming activity.

Unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County are those sections that lie outside the boundaries of incorporated cities, such as Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Filming within each incorporated city is regulated by the ordinances, policies and procedures of that particular jurisdiction and is not subject to Los Angeles County regulations.
