Hi Jeff! Okay. I admit it; I am a rube. I have never lived where a television series has been filmed before. For that reason and that alone, I would have liked some advanced briefing on the protocol applicable to such an event, so I would at least know how to conduct myself. May I sit

To the list: I found it annoying. The Hack crew came on my block about 4:50 AM to park huge vans and trailers with LOUDLY squeaking breaks that squeaked over and over again at extremely high shrieking Pitches as they inched down the hill between 44th and 43rd on Pine. It was NOT a pleasant way

On the 500 block of S. 45th Street we've been informed of Hack filming well in advance. We've been asked if we have any problems with the planned filming. Someone went door-to-door, etc. We were informed by letter that the production company is working with community groups to work out details

Dear Mr. Lifson, Thanks for the information regarding your block's advance notice on the filming for Hack. The point is in my opinion, is not that people want the company to fold its production here. Rather, some people felt it was thrust upon them without notice or advice as to how to conduct

To the list: I am surprised about all the reports of the Hack filming team giving advance notice to residents who would be inconvenienced by the filming. I NEVER received notice of ANY kind other than the usual city signs advising us in advance that there was an upcoming no parking day. I

A while back I met a woman who worked as an on location accountant for a movie production company. As she put it, movies shot on location hemorrhage money. Everyone who claims to be inconvenienced by the shoot gets paid off. Homeless people who say, hey, that's my usual spot! get paid off.

Title: Re: [UC] Hack filming in our neighborhood Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much of a location fee someone in our neighborhood would receive for their place being used for a shoot? I'm sure it varies widely depending on how extensively they take over, but I'm just wondering what
