Photography and film permits
|
|
All filming at County parks, other than non-commercial photos such as among family members, requires a film permit issued by Film LA. Inc., the entity authorized by the County Los Angeles Board of Supervisors to process film permits for County-operated facilities.
Even student film projects and those by non-profit – 501(c) -- organizations require permits, although the Department of Parks and Recreation will waive location fees for those categories.
Contact should be made with the desired facility to determine dates of availability. A walk-through may also be scheduled with staff to determine the location, accommodations requested and staff monitor requirements and availability.
Once availability is confirmed, you may apply for a film permit by contacting Film L.A. Inc. at www.filmla.com or by calling (213) 977-8600.
