There finally is some good news about film production in Los Angeles.
The city and county’s film-permitting office said today that shoot days in Greater L.A. increased by 6.2% in the October-to-December period after 11 consecutive quarters of year-over-year declines.
FilmLA said today that most production types it tracks achieved gains in the fourth quarter, except for Reality TV. But the Q4 gains could not offset the full-year contraction as overall annual production finished the year 5.6% below strike-addled 2023. Overall, 2024 was the second-least-productive year for L.A. production, topping only the Covid-stricken 2020.
