LA Offers Iconic Filming Spots Cheaper
11 Mar
Summary
- Griffith Observatory filming costs reduced by 70%.
- L.A. Central Library is now available for film productions.
- Filming costs at Griffith Observatory are back to 2008 prices.
Los Angeles is actively working to boost its film production industry by reducing costs at iconic locations. Mayor Karen Bass announced a substantial 70% decrease in filming fees for the Griffith Observatory, reverting them to 2008 price levels. This makes the landmark available for $30,000 instead of $100,000.
Furthermore, the L.A. Central Library has reopened its doors to Hollywood productions, marking the first time in over a decade. Mayor Bass emphasized the city's commitment to making filming easier and more affordable, aiming to create union jobs and economic opportunities.
This initiative follows Executive Directive 11, issued nearly a year prior, which aimed to lower Griffith Observatory's production costs and allow interior filming at the Central Public Library. Industry representatives lauded the move, seeing it as a commitment to creators and workers, and a vital step in keeping Los Angeles competitive in the global filmmaking market.
