On-location film permits for the Los Angeles area grew by 24% in October over September as productions staged a moderate recovery amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the FilmLA agency reported Tuesday.
The industry, which was mostly shuttered from March to June, has filed for 2,565 film permit applications for 1,967 unique projects over the last 20 weeks, according to the report. Monthly application intake increased in October to 880 permits, a gain of 169 from September. FilmLA’s daily intake now averages around 40 new applications per business day.
