erg. i had a permits issue once. a location fell through at the last minute, so i used my own personal residence for one of the locations, but the city of orange is RIDICULOUS, showed up and said we couldn't film (even inside of a private residence) without a permit for that specific location through the city of orange. i had to move it to a friend's in newport last minute. the guy from the city of newport was much cooler about it, but PD had changed a lot, and very last minute, plus we had to cut a lot due to time issues. not a great film in the end, really, but a learning experience.
