Fair Film Coalition (FFC) – Mission Statement

Fair Film Coalition (California) is a grassroots alliance of California-based film professionals working together to reform and revive the permitting process and support system for productions in the City of Los Angeles and beyond.

Founded as CA-Creates in 2024, this group has grown into a united front of Producers, Location Scouts, Vendors, Crew, and Advocates committed to one goal:

To Bring Filming Back—Fairly, Affordably, and Sustainably.

We believe Los Angeles, the birthplace of the global entertainment industry, must reclaim its role as a welcoming and economically viable place to create content. FFC exists to:

• Simplify film permits and remove unnecessary regulations

• Lower production costs through practical policy reform

• Advocate for fair treatment and acceptance in our neighborhoods

• Educate the public on the industry’s economic and cultural value

• Make activism accessible for busy film professionals

This group is open to all who care about saving the California film industry—especially those ready to speak the truth, share insights, and shape the future.

We are not just filmmakers. We are citizens of the Golden State, and we’re here to fight for its creative soul.
