Yes and no. The Huntington is located in the City of San Marino, which requires a permit. Conveniently, however, filming on our property is permitted through our office. When you contact us to discuss location fees, we will also disclose the permit fees. Permits are required for prep and strike days as well as shooting days. Please note that permitting must go through The Huntington’s filming office. We do not work with outside permitting services.
