Livingston City Commission reinstates film permit for "Bonfire Pawn Shop"
The Livingston City Commission voted to reinstate the filming permit for "Bonfire Pawn Shop" under several new conditions producers will be required to follow. These conditions include ensuring hired film security is focused on maintaining security of the set, and not policing residents in the area; mitigating noise for firearms and explosives used on set; continuing to post informative signage for neighbors in the area, so they are informed on what is happening; including buffer zones on the edge of production areas; ensuring access to the Livingston Food Resource Center; and using physical screens to hide violence being filmed when possible.
