Hi!
I'm an indie/student filmmaker and I've been looking to shoot out of town. I'm planning to make a film in 2016 and distribute it (planning quite a bit in advance, I know). I was wondering- are film permits required for distribution? As a student, it is very VERY hard to get one because they require an insurance of $1 Million and I have absolutely no idea how to get that money or anything even close to it.
I'd like to sell my film/charge people to see it, but do you know if that would require a filming permit when we film? I know for private property, a written consent from the owner usually suffices, but is it necessary for a small $7,500-$10,000 production?
