Culver City has expanded its incentives for movie and television productions by waiving additional fees and easing requirements. The changes took effect on May 11 and build on a package approved last year. Officials aim to boost local filming activity in the area known as the Heart of Screenland.
The city has fully waived per-application motion and still photography fees, saving productions $660 per permit. It also reduced minimum insurance requirements to align with nearby municipalities and offered a full waiver on daily use fees that cuts costs by up to 60 percent. For a typical three-day shoot, total administrative fees drop by an additional $1,700 from prior incentive levels.
