Permit & Agreement Samples

Having a film permit will help bring crucial infrastructure and process to your city, which will better serve your community as Oklahoma’s film and television industry continues to grow. For example, larger film productions may wish to close a street a certain time, change signage on buildings or bring a large number of production vehicles or extras to a city business or residential area. This may require additional permissions from the police or fire chief, city manager or parks department. Smaller productions such as docu-series may simply want to get b-roll (scenic imagery) of your downtown or parks without interrupting day-to-day activities.

A locations permit will not only provide a method to record all logistical intake information, but also additional details related to production insurance, location fees (if applicable) and more. In some cases, a production may also have a locations agreement in which they want a representative from the city to sign-off/authenticate. This is industry standard and should be reviewed by the city’s legal department before signing. This is an example of a location permit.
