Back on Track: A Safe Return to Film Production in Indy

Film Indy Welcomes You Back Safely

Film Indy is open for film production and ready to assist you with your next project in the city. Any production over 250 people, we’ll need to have a health plan approved by the Marion County Health Department.

Our promise to you:
Indy's hospitality community has completed the Hoosier Hospitality Promise, in partnership with the Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association, Visit Indiana and health officials across the state. When you see this endorsement, you can be certain that the location is taking all necessary steps to protect their employees and customers, including any opportunity to welcome your film crew.

In effort to keep Indy’s reopening stages safely progressing, the city has mandated that residents and visitors (including all film production crews) are required to wear masks in any indoor space or outdoor space where social distancing is not possible. The mask order excludes children under the age of 3, as well as anyone with a medical condition that prevents the use of a mask.

Productions need to fill out a film application before filming in Indy. The application is quick and easy and can be submitted directly online.
