Picture New York without Pictures Posted by Chris Baker on 8/01, 7:42am | ||
I took an acting class with Sarah Paige a couple years ago. She is now in New York and sent me this very distubing bulletin on Myspace: Check out www.pictureny.org for more info on filming and photography permit changes in the city and to sign a petition against it by this Fri, Aug 3. This legislation could make it illegal and impossible to shoot an indie on the streets on nyc. "As the city considers rule changes that would require a permit to photograph and film in public places, a coalition of filmmakers and photographers is mobilizing a campaign against the rules by using the very medium they believe the regulations would constrict. Members of a newly formed advocacy group called Picture New York gathered recently at a gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to harness their creative skills to express their opposition to the rules by planning demonstrations, including one that was set to take place yesterday in Union Square. The public comment period ends Friday." | ||
