Filming on MV

MV HOLIDAY
Television/Film Pre-Production Planner

Permitting is available in each of the six towns on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard. Filming in public places (beaches, streets, sidewalks, bike trails, etc.) may require permission from the appropriate town. We encourage you to make contact with the Town Administrator’s office prior to shooting.

Any film project that requires assistance with public safety, or may be disruptive to traffic, must submit requests in writing to the appropriate contact. Project proposals should include information about the production company requesting a permit, including contact information, a description of the project, dates(s), time(s) and location(s) of shoots, and the need, if any, for municipal services, such a police, fire, harbormaster, highway department, etc. Project proposals should be submitted in writing with as much advanced notice as possible.
