FilmLA has announced the dates for this year's moratorium on filming in Los Angeles International Airport.
The moratorium on filming at airport property begins on October 25, 2024 and ends on January 2, 2025; any requests for October 25 must be submitted by October 16.
The first possible shoot date in January 2025 will be January 13, 2025. Applications are due on January 2, according to FilmLA.
The moratorium covers film, television, and commercial production. Previous years had shorter moratorium periods, however, the filming ban has always accounted for the holiday period before Thanksgiving, through New Year's.
A FilmLA report from April 2024 detailed that post-strike production has been slow to rebound in the first quarter of 2024 for both on-location shoot days (SD) and film permit-associated cast and crew jobs.
Total LA-based production shoot days were down 8.7% to 6,823 SD compared to Q1 2023, and down 20.5% compared to the last five-year average. (The average discounts 2020).
Productions filming and set to film in LA include Gregg Araki's 'I Want Your Sex' and Al Pacino starter 'Lear Rex'. The state's tax credits lured Aaron Korsch's 'Suits' spin-off from Vancouver.
