So I have a couple friends that I would like to invite over to make a movie (5 including me) which I think if I invited more that would just be too much. Is it okay to just write a script and have a camera and tripod and just make a film. Also do I need permission to film at my local park down the street?
Friendly Film?

It's okay to to just write a script and have a camera and tripod
and just make a film. I think all of us started that way. I know
I did.
In most places you don't need permission to film in a public park.
Go for it. Be respectful of the park and other people around and if
someone tell you you can't make a movie there, apologize respectfully
and leave right away. Then find out what it would take to get permission
next time.
But I don't think it will come to that.

If you don't have a huge camera crew, with someone booming a mic and someone setting up huge light kits on the playground when a 4 year old is trying to slide down the fire pole for the first time, that might be overboard 
. But if you and your friends are out their with a consumer camera and a tripod, it shouldn't cause to much distraction and attention. Now, if you go out there with a couple of RED One's and Scarlets with a dolly and Merlin stabilizer, people might get suspicious.... 
Just saying, not that you have all that stuff... just throwing it out there.

beg forgiveness.. but dont ask permission .. be a respectful DV Rebel.
OFCOURSE YOU DON'T ASK FOR PERMISSION! you film it having the mentallity that you are allowed to and when you get in trouble you act like you had no clue.
hopefully your shooting this weekend. .. please upload some footage and let us see what ya got..
