Resiliency Fellow – Jennifer Quezada
Project Overview
Film production in Ventura County has three main stakeholders: Ventura County community members, film productions and permitting figures. In order to better communication and develop understanding about the film permitting process among stakeholders my projects focused on creating awareness of the benefits of filming for community members, facilitating the film process for productions through the simplification of information and allowing jurisdictions to understand the need for them to prioritize film permits in order to increase the economic impact of film permitting in the county. The first project restructured the current accessibility to information on the Ventura County Film Commission website through taxonomizing permitting layers and determining patterns to communicate to stakeholders. The second was to create a GIS map as a visual and interactive resource for stakeholders to refer to and learn more in depth about the economic benefits of film permitting. And finally, the third project was the Permit Palooza where permitting figures gathered together and the GIS map was presented to filming figures to determine its efficacy.
