The City of Lancaster approved a contract to have FilmLA handle permitting requirements for on-location production. The city is home to many popular filming locations, including a baseball stadium, national soccer center and performing arts center. The city requires a permit for filming on public and private property, with the exception of certified sound stages, for news reporting purposes, and amateur photo and video projects for private use. “By choosing to partner with FilmLA, Lancaster has built a bridge between the film industry and the community to incentivize local production,” said Pauline East, director of the Antelope Valley Film Office. “At the same time, Lancaster residents and business owners will benefit from having an expert looking out for their interests in the permit process.” FilmLA is a not for profit agency that coordinates on-location filming in the city of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County and a number of other municipalities and public agencies.
