I don't need to begin this by saying that I like Bloomy, cigarette tax and all, but this is going too far:
"The Bloomberg administration is quietly pushing new regulations that would ban certain kinds of photography in New York City without a permit and $1 million in liability insurance...
"It seems clear that this measure is designed discourage small-time filmmakers from shooting in the city. Cynics would speculate that the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater, and Television wants to create a monopoly for the big commercial filmmakers who generate revenue for the city."
Stop the madness. Allowing small time filmmakers to participate in the arts (which new technology has allowed in copious amounts) helps to enrich the cultural fiber of the city and hell, is downright fun. (I recommend everyone should make at least one short film in a lifetime that's not a porn (which, of course, you should make three)).
