Merchants near the Balboa Fun Zone say they received little notice the center would close during a peak tourist time for filming.
A recent request to shoot scenes for a feature-length film at Newport Beach’s Balboa Fun Zone — which required temporary closure of the family entertainment center — has some business owners calling for edits to the city’s film ordinance.
George maintains he and other surrounding business owners received scant notice a film crew had plans to shut down a portion of the Boardwalk on a weekend when regular tourists still on spring break set their sights on Newport Beach. Visitors enjoy the Newport Beach Fun Zone on Thursday. Local businesses were given short notice about the filming of a movie nearby, which they said would affect revenue on a busy weekend.
Ranjit Mac, who’s owned the Blue Sails gift shop for 23 years, wants to know why she and others weren’t involved in any discussions or given a chance to suggest alternative filming days. Filming notification requirements are handled on a case-by-case basis, according to city spokesman John Pope. When a crew wishes to film in a residential area, a 500-foot notification radius is a common condition of approval, but in commercial areas such mandates are less clearly defined.on Newport Beach’s website says the city may require a film crew to formally notify areas affected by a production, the ordinance doesn’t spell out guidelines for notification.
