FilmLA, partner film office for the City and County of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions – today issued an update regarding regional filming activity.
The film industry’s highly-anticipated return to production in 2024 took eight to ten weeks to materialize, according to FilmLA. The end of labor work actions late in 2023 pushed many project starts into the New Year.
At the same time, runaway production, series cancelations and planned reductions in content spend were seen to limit industry output and work opportunities. Local on-location filming declined -8.7 percent from January through March, attaining only 6,823 Shoot Days (SD)* in the first quarter.
