The New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting (MOFTB) is in the process of re-drafting proposed new rules that would have required many film and still photographers to obtain proof of liability insurance and permits in order to conduct certain activities in the city.
Based on feedback it has received from the public during an extended comment period, the MOFTB decided on Aug. 3 to re-draft the rules.
As originally drafted, the rules would have required a permit for “film or still photography activity involving a tripod and a crew of five or more persons at one site for 10 or more minutes,” and also for “the same activity among two people at a single site for more than 30 minutes.”
