Talk:Filming permit

this statement is false[edit]

"Every city and state has some sort of council or office that handles filming permits."

This is an overly broad and demonstrably false statement. Every is used to refer to all the individual members of a set without exception which is clearly not the case here. The majority of localities and states in the U.S. do not require any sort of filming permit for filming activities on private and often public property. For example - in the state of Virginia there is a state level office called the Virginia Film Bureau (https://www.film.virginia.org/about/) whose sole purpose is to bring new film production to the state rather than issue state level permits. The City of Big Timber in Montana with approximately 1,700 residents has no such office or requirement, while the State of Montana (https://www.montanafilm.com/permits/#1603733978504-29140196-c7fb) only requires permits for certain productions which occur in State owned parkland. 73.147.80.4 (talk) 08:14, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The websites you cited indicate that Virginia and Montana do have offices that handle permits.—Anita5192 (talk) 13:11, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Always needed?[edit]

The article implies that a filming permit is always needed. Is that the case? My understanding is that permits are only need for filming on location. Filming on one's own set does not require a permit, does it?Bill (talk) 00:18, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
