L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Issues Executive Directive To Reduce Red Tape On Local Film & TV Production
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass aims to remove some of the red tape on local production with a new executive directive
Those orders include making iconic locations like the Griffith Observatory, Port of LA, and the Central Library cheaper and easier to shoot at and instituting a “proactive, film-friendly approach to communication” between productions and the city, particularly on matters that could impact filming schedules. Bass’ action comes after the L.A. City Council passed Nazarian’s motion to reduce “onerous regulations and permitting” as well as other “unnecessary fees, inconsistent safety requirements.” California Governor Gavin Newsom has also led the charge on increasing domestic production, and his proposal to expand the state’s Film & TV Tax Credit Program is also currently making its way through the Legislature.
