Last night the City Council voted 5-0 to modernize permitting for production crews shooting movie, TV, and streaming productions within city limits. The updated rules better reflect current production realities, and will make it easier to produce movie and TV content here.
Thousand Oaks has a long history of movie and TV shoots, including the classic Spartacus (1960), directed by Stanley Kubrick. He filmed the famous “I am Spartacus” scene in Wildwood Park, and the movie contains many long shots showing Thousand Oaks landmarks.
