Government Shutdown Brings Ban on TV, Film Location Shoots in L.A. Federal Locales

Due to the federal government shutdown, no permits for location shoots at a number of popular Los Angeles County filming locales will be issued. The Angeles National Forest, LA River, Sepulveda Dam and the West Lost Angeles Veterans Administration Medical Center are among the federal locations which have been placed on indefinite hiatus for filming, according to the non-profit agency which oversees the county’s location permitting process.
