Hollywood has been slow to get its cameras rolling again as California starts easing coronavirus restrictions. Only a small number of movie and television (TV) productions have restarted filming in California and other parts of the United States. Actors and crew members are unsure when projects might restart filming, and some expect they will not return to work until 2021. Los Angeles County is home to the biggest movie and TV production companies in the country. The local government gave approval in June for filming to begin with safety measures in place. Major labor unions released a 36-page report describing those safeguards. Producers had hoped to have many projects working again in August. The number of filming permit requests in the Los Angeles area since mid-June was more than 60 percent lower compared to a normal year. Most of the requests were for advertising or still film images, reported local organization FilmLA. The group said it expected more television shows and movies to restart filming in September.
