3) Shooting Private Liability Insurance (This is for a privately owned location that asks for its own insurance. Example: restaurants, museums, apartment complexes. You need to provide the information of the OWNER of the property on this form, not just the manager, including a clear email address. Once the form is completely filled out and signed by your instructor it goes to the LACC Cinema/TV Department Chair for processing. This typically takes 1-2 weeks.

4) Shooting Permits: Individual Cities (Each City, NOT covered by Film LA has its own requirements to follow. Below is a partial list only, consult each cities’ website. You will need at least two weeks lead time to get the liability insurance in place through the Cinema/TV Department Chair. Follow all rules & instructions.)

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. The Los Angeles City College is registered with FilmLA and the City of Los Angeles so student permits can be obtained in Los Angeles. These are Municipalities other than Los Angeles. See the websites below for complete information on the permits you might need. Most of the needed forms can be downloaded.
