PERMIT OFFICES
In order to legally shoot a film on public property (and sometimes private property), you are required to have a permit. A letter must be obtained from you instructor indicating that you are a student and that the film will not be used for commercial purposes. You need to give the permit office at least 48 hours (and sometimes more) to complete the paperwork. The Los Angeles Community College District is registered with FilmLA so student permits can be obtained in many of the areas that FilmL.A. covers. Municipalities other than Los Angeles and Los Angeles county can be arranged through Mr. Obern but a two week lead time is needed. See the websites below for complete information on the permits you might need. Most of the needed forms can be downloaded.
