We know the best place to park the dressing room trailer, and where the sun sets, and can even point out the poison oak. It also helps us to be able to talk with the department heads as they are planning their work. Including us in the tech scout makes the filming day go smoother for everyone. If weather is the reason for canceling, we will work with you to re-schedule the shoot. You will be responsible for all NPS costs up to the time of cancellation.
Administrative charges are mandatory and non-refundable.
You can leave a voice mail message with the Office of Special Park Uses if you are canceling on a weekday. Evenings and weekends, you will also need to contact the field rangers. The prices we charge are based on what it costs us to accommodate filming and photography at our sites. Since the prices are based on our costs, our ability to negotiate variations is extremely limited. Prices listed below are the 2000 rates for application evaluation, permit preparation, basic monitoring and one day site use .
