The A to Z of Shooting in LA

Los Angeles has a reputation for being an expensive place to shoot an indie film. But the truth is, you can save a lot of money by staying local. We’re pleased to welcome back to Film Independent, Josh Mingo and Tim Overbeck from Film L.A. to give us the lowdown on shooting in this town on an indie budget.

They will offer tips on finding the right locations and how the Film L.A. office can assist; which neighborhoods are film-friendly; which areas of the city can double for out-of-state locations; everything you need to know about permits; securing street closures for a scene; shooting scenes in cars and other elements that can significantly increase your production value.
