90% (if not more) of the homeless population in LA are just trying to survive. They are not villains.
Instead let's talk about the systems in place that create homelessness.
We've had Jerry Maguire and Top Gun
Can we now get re-releases of Edge of Tomorrow, Magnolia, Interviews with a Vampire, War of the Worlds, Tropic Thunder, Jack Reacher etc?
The Vatican. Owen Davian. Berlin. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Rabbitโs Foot. Shanghai. Zhen Lei. Lindsey Farris. Benji Dunn. Julia Meade. The disposable camera briefing. So much to love in JJ Abramsโ entry, which was unique but also set the stage for what was to come. ๐ฅ
People fly into LAX, take an uber directly to the Beverly Hills Hotel, spend all of their days at the hotel pool and nights on the Sunset Strip, and then leave a week later and say some BS like this:
If you call Film LA, the very first option is to report a production you think should be shut down for not having a permit.
The third option is to try and get a permit. If you don't get your application in my 10am a week before the shoot, they will not process your application. Not 10:05, not 12pm. Must be in by 10am. When you speak to the person at Film LA, they truly sound like they don't even want you to shoot there.
I hope whoever our next mayor is shuts down Film LA and makes it free and easy to get a permit.
LA has the best crews, the best casts, the best weather. It shouldn't be cheaper and easier to fly to Oklahoma and shoot there than it is to shoot at home. It's time to bring filmmaking back to LA.
