Film Insurance Guidelines

Filmmakers seeking permits to film on-location in any of the areas served by FilmL.A. must provide proof of insurance meeting both our requirements and those of each jurisdiction involved. The

insurance step is very important to the permit coordination process; failure to submit proof of insurance can delay permit application processing.
