FilmLA is a great organization that works hard to make filming in Los Angeles a reality. They have a difficult job, and I personally have found their efforts to be instrumental to helping a production to achieve our goals. During the production of “Joker: Folie à Deux”, FilmLA worked hand-in-hand with me to problem solve in the neighborhoods we worked in and I can say that we would not have been as successful without their database of information, their attitude of helpfulness and willingness to hear out my requests and work to turn a “No” into a “Yes”.
I’d like to specifically call out the support we’ve received from Donna Washington, CJ Leavens, Matthew Ritter, and former employee Arturo Pinà.
