Local filming production up as networks prep for fall season

Local production around the Los Angeles area in film, commercials and television increased 25% last week compared with the same period a year ago, according to the latest numbers from FilmL.A., Inc. Production was also up 15% last week from the previous week (ending July 17).

Television production alone generated 330 production days (one production day is defined as a single crew’s permission to film at a single location in a 24-hour period), the most television production recorded days in a week since May. Network television shows typically ratchet up production this time of year as the fall season approaches. COMPANY TOWN
