Culver City

Film Permitting and Applications

Culver City partners with FilmLA to coordinate all film permitting. Please submit an application to the FilmLA to begin the process. Once the application is received, the City will work with FilmLA and your team to provide a case-by-case approach based on your filming needs.

A film permit is required for filming or taping any commercial motion picture, television program, advertisement, music video, public service announcement, some commercial web-based productions, or similar production outside of an approved studio, and for certain commercial still photography. Filming activity also includes the setup and dismantling of all equipment. The film permit request process begins with submitting an application to Film LA, Culver City's contracted film coordinator for City-wide location shooting. A separate rental permit is required to film or photograph at any Culver City park facility, including the use of any parking lot at any park for base camp, catering, etc.
