Filming in Los Angeles rose to a record in the fourth quarter of last year as Hollywood recovered from the COVID-19 doldrums.
But data for the full year reflected a more complex narrative for the business of local film and TV production, with uncertainty continuing into 2022.
The quarter that ended in December set an all-time high of 10,780 shoot days in Greater Los Angeles, according to FilmLA, the nonprofit that handles film permits for the city and county. The tally was 4% above the previous three-month record of 10,359 shoot days set in the final quarter of 2018.
