FEE REDUCTION
The City’s Film Office staff have the authority to consider a request for a one-time 50% fee reduction of the City’s location fees, subject to the following criteria:
- Productions should be either non-theatrical (such as shorts, student foundation films, documentaries), or
- Theatrical productions that are under $500,000 total gross budget (staff will request they provide their budget top sheet to verify),
- Filming will not take place over more than two days in the City location.
