Advance notification of your planned activity must be coordinated through fliers/letters distributed in the production-impacted area to inform residents and businesses to assist them in making arrangements for your production activity. These fliers are the primary notification for residents and should be distributed no less than 72 to 48 hours prior to your shoot to each physical address in a “T” pattern extending in all directions from your Key Location. Depending on the level of impact, Film New Orleans may require an extended area of notification.
Notification is especially important for multi-family residences or businesses with residential property located above them. If you are unsure of residential dwellings above a business, please inquire with the business owner.
Each notification must be on production letterhead and include the following information:

Prior to distribution, please send a copy of the flyer to Katie Williams.
The film office will then assist you in secondary notification by electronically distributing your fliers to the affected neighborhoods, merchants and/or neighborhood associations.
PLEASE NOTE: Additional meetings, consideration and/or outreach may be required for High Impact Activity as deemed necessary at the City Hall Production Meeting by Film New Orleans or as requested by the Film New Orleans Director.
