Los Angeles County requires permits for most film shoots on location or in studio. A permit is usually not required if the shoot is not for commercial purposes, or is filmed entirely handheld using ambient lighting. Depending on the size of your crew, or any special safety concerns for stunts or exterior shots, they may require an on-site police or fire officer at an additional fee. We do NOT require a copy of your permit, though you are responsible for determining if your shoot requires a permit, and obtaining it before your shoot. We are not liable for any expenses incurred, or refunding studio rental fees, if your production is halted by a police or fire dept official.

You are responsible for your own insurance to cover damage & liability, and agree to replace or reimburse for damage within 48 hours. Also, this is a working sound stage and construction zone, so there may be loose nails, sharp edges, power tools, wet paint, etc. While we make every effort to ensure a safe environment, use of the studio is at your own risk and liability.
