Join the Union Square Rally against filming regulations
intern
Referring back to Katy’s blog on the city’s proposal to require a film permit and a $1 million liability insurance package for any “group of two or more people who want to use a camera in a single public location for more than half an hourâ€? or “any group of five or more people who plan to use a tripod in a public location for more than 10 minutes, including the time it takes to set up the equipment”, a rally is scheduled today (Friday July 27, at 6:30pm) to protest these rules in Union Square.
The full list of regulation can be found here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/film/downloads/pdf/moftb_permit_regs.pdf
These proposed regulations may have serious consequences to independent film makers and impede on our First Amendment rights. We can stop these absurd proposed regulations from becoming law if legislation meets enough public outcry.
Join the film/photo contingent in the festive (un-permitted) Union Square First Amendment Rally, this Friday July 27, at 6:30pm. More info here: http://www.pictureny.org/?p=9
