Election Day approaches on Tuesday, November 5. As millions of California voters head to US Post Office locations and Vote Centers to mail or cast their ballots, local officials expect increased staffing needs for law enforcement and public safety personnel, amidst possible protest activity.
FilmLA reminds all filmmakers that the availability of government partners to review film permit applications, approve of higher-impact film activities, and provide personnel for direct oversight of filming on-location will be limited in the coming week.
Below you will find a rundown of the specific impacts we are aware of, based on our outreach to government partners. If a jurisdiction is not listed, standard procedures will remain in effect. Please note that this information is subject to change. FilmLA’s Solution Services team is always available to assist you at 213-977-8600 and info@filmla.com.
With appreciation for our government partners and local communities we serve, we know we can support filming in our neighborhoods, maintain shared access to public rights-of-way, and prioritize Californians’ important rights to vote and First Amendment speech.
