"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" Council focusing [ on new policy to | govern filming in | the township By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Scugog Township coun- cillors want a film bylaw in place as soon as possi- ble. Local politicians have long been trying to pass a _ policy to control crews that use Port Perry and the township for films. Over the past few years Port Perry in particular, has become a popular site for movie producers. Shooting here has often re- sulted in problems with downtown business and residents, who feel incon- venienced by the film crews. Ward 1 Councillor Doug Moffatt told council last week a policy is needed 'quickly. According to Councillor Moffatt, a re- cent filming on Marsh Hill Rd. distressed many area residents when film crews took over the area. He called it "foolish and frantic behavior on Marsh his! ilk HH HHH ---- HHHEH " u {H] dat \: Buy One Get The 2nd At Half Price® SELECTED FASHION COORDINATES [IES Service, Quality & Style Since 1881 be Hill," where the crews gave residents their pre- dicted hours of shooting and then went on to film late into the night, dis- turbing residents with lights and noise. The township's film pol- icy has been sent to the oper and BIA for com- nts, and Councillor Moffatt wants the policy finalized at the next meet- ing if possible. The BIA re- viewed the policy last week. A portion of the new by- law was to include the pos- sibility of a film liaison to act on behalf of the town- ship at the film site. Councillor Moffatt said this latest developments make the film liaison per- son no longer an option, but a necessity. The filming policy will likely include restricted hours of shooting and lighting, as well as com- pensation to the township and merchants. - 3 Wo She's the author of su and Favorite String Gam extensively in her search for folk esting string games.
