As Downtown Discussion Heats Up, MacDonald Leaves FilmL.A.

Who would want the job?

If FilmLA loses its contract with the City of Los Angeles it will sink under its own weight -- the County of Los Angeles contract alone won't carry them as FilmLA really only covers permits in the unincorporated parts of the county.

You'll likely see an insider elevated as president until the City takes an action on a RFP.

Wasn't MacDonald in that documentary on the collision course with over-filming and Downtown residential development some years back?

It's hard to say you aren't up on an issue when you have been captured on film discussing it as an expert...

Wait - It's G-I-N-N-Y

The second thing - I'll admit, I have a google search for my name and I saw the article last night. I forgot that I did the interview with AP - it was MONTHS ago. But, the good thing it may renew the interest in those who've been sitting on the special conditions, stalling on making some decisions.

Thanks Eric.... :-)

The writer of the article was in touch with me until just a few weeks ago. The delay in the progress of the conditions was the reason for the late release of the piece, but I actually think the timing is good. It will bring attention back to the issue now, as filming starts to heat up again.
