Filming at the Presidio

As both a national park site and a National Historic Landmark District, the Presidio is a beautiful backdrop for film productions.

Presidio Film Permits

The Presidio Trust issues permits for film projects on the Presidio’s interior lands, which encompass the interior 80% of the park (Area B) 

 

To apply, please submit the Presidio Trust Film Permit Application a minimum of 10 business days prior to your intended film date. You can also reference the Rules for Special Use Permits.

Fees are based on the size, scope, and nature of the project. View the Outdoor Event Permit Fee Schedule and our Sustainability Requirements. For further information, please contact the Presidio Trust at (415) 561-4200 or outdoorevents@presidiotrust.gov.
