Subject:  Notice of Upcoming Filming Activity - Independent Producer/Filmmaker Alex Sherman

February 25, 2015

Dear Councilmember McDuffie and ANC Representatives,

Independent Filmmaker, Alex Sherman is scheduled to film a project in your area this weekend.

The District Government has granted Mr. Sherman and his crew permission to film and park a few of their production vehicles at the following locations, dates, and times:

 ·         R St NW between 3^rd and 4^th Streets

Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

 ·         U St NW between 1^st and 2^nd Streets

Sunday, March 1, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Special Operations Division may assist with pedestrian control during this filming as it relates to potentially delicate social issues (abuse of police power).

 At present, there are only two vehicles and 9 cast/crew scheduled for use in this production, so parking shouldn’t become an issue. However, we ask that residents please avoid parking in areas that may be posted with “Emergency No Parking” signs. In the event that a vehicle is situated in such a “No Parking” zone, it will be relocated to a nearby location at no cost to the resident. Residents may call (202) 737-4404 to locate a towed vehicle.

 The Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police Department, are working with the production company to minimize the impact of this for residents and businesses in the area.

We regret any inconvenience this activity may cause. Should you have any further concerns that are not addressed in this notice, please feel free to give me a call at (202) 727-6608.

Thank you.

​​​​Ray Williams
