As feature, commercial and reality TV production dips in California, narrative shows remain the only sector to increase in the second quarter.
According to the latest quarterly report from FilmLA, on-location filming of narrative TV projects increased in the second quarter — and was the only sector to do so. Feature, commercial and reality TV production, meanwhile, all lost ground.
In FilmLA’s Television category, dramas specifically were up 17 percent, comedy was up three percent and pilots were up 35 percent. But a cyclical drop in reality TV pulled the category down a percent overall. Feature film production, for its part, decreased around 17 percent for the second quarter. The lack of available soundstage space is seen as the main impediment to growth in this category, even though financial incentives to bring new projects to the state are strong. Film projects brought to Los Angeles by California’s incentives program contributed nearly ten percent of projects.
