February 1, 2008 - With the launch of the new online permit system in the coming weeks, the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting is conducting free training sessions for our customers.

The online permit technology boasts a step by step, user friendly interface that allows customers to apply for film and television scouting, rigging and shooting permits electronically. Beginning in February, the MOFTB will conduct various training sessions in an effort to familiarize our customers with the new online permit format.

The first session will be held at the Apple Store in SoHo on Friday, February 8, 2008 from 6:30-8pm. Location managers, filmmakers, and anyone who applies for New York City filming permits are invited to attend and learn how to use the online permit system.

The event is open to the public. If you have any questions, send an email to rsvp@film.nyc.gov.
