Do they not make you file permits anymore for shining lights into the sky?
I know when I was doing festivals we had to file permits for all of our light shows noting the exact time it would start and end. They would put a TFR in place surrounding our festival until it was over so planes and helicopters wouldn’t get blinded by the lights.
I work in the entertainment sector, and if anything we’re hiring right now. Yet this article is saying there’s massive layoffs because they lump film in with live events. The skill sets are not transferable and you can’t lump them together. The film industry is really struggling. The live event industry is doing just fine. Every recession the live event and gaming industries have surged because of escapism. The only time live events have struggled is when pandemics happen.
