DEFINITIONS 
General Permit – Traditional Phoenix Film and Digital Media Permit issued when city staff (Police, Rangers, et cetera) are required or 
coordination with other departments (Streets, Library, et cetera) is needed.  All City Film Policies will be in effect. 
Student Permit – Issued to filmmakers currently enrolled in an educational program and the insurance comes directly from the school 
and a letter from the student’s Professor stating the project is approved.  Should the school not provide insurance on behalf of the 
student, the student will need to secure their own insurance and provide a letter from their Professor stating the project is approved by the 
school
