FILMMAKERS’ CODE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

To the Public: We are pleased to be filming in this location and appreciate your cooperation. If you find this production company is not adhering to this Code in any manner.

Please call*

To our Company: You are guests and should treat this location, as well as the public, with courtesy. This notice has been attached to the Filming Notification which was distributed to this neighborhood. You are agreeing to the following actions and standards:

  1. When filming in a neighborhood or business district, proper notification is to be provided to each merchant or resident who is directly affected by the company (this includes parking, traveling shots, base camps, meal areas, etc.).
  2. Production vehicles arriving on location in or near a residential neighborhood shall not enter the area before the time stipulated in the permit. They should park one by one, turning off engines as soon as possible. Cast and crew shall observe designated parking areas only. Do not park production vehicles, crew member vehicles or equipment in driveways, alleyways or any other area unless prior arrangements have been made with the owner(s) of the effected property and-or the political subdivision as appropriate.
  3. Do not trespass onto neighbors’ or merchants’ property. Remain within the boundaries of the property that has been permitted for filming.
  4. Moving or towing of the public’s vehicles is prohibited without the express permission of the political subdivision or the owner of the vehicle.
  5. Cast and crew meals shall be confined to the area designated in the location agreement or permit. Use company-supplied receptacles for the disposal of all napkins, plates and coffee cups that are used in the course of the working day. All catering, craft service, construction, strike and personal trash must be removed from location.
  6. Removing, trimming and/or cutting of vegetation or trees is prohibited unless approved by the permit authority or the property owner.
  7. All signs erected or removed for filming purposes will be removed or replaced upon completion of the use of that location unless otherwise stipulated by the location agreement or permit. Also, remember to remove all signs posted to direct the company to the location.
  8. Every member of the cast and crew shall keep noise levels as low as possible.
  9. Observe designated smoking areas and always extinguish cigarettes in company supplied butt cans.
  10. Crew members shall not display signs, posters or pictures on or in vehicles that do not reflect common sense or good taste (i.e., pin-up posters…). Cast and crew will refrain from the use of lewd or improper language.
The Ascension Film Commission appreciates your cooperation and assistance in upholding the Filmmaker’s Code of Professional Responsibility.
