SFGate reports, there has been slow progress on film and television productions in Los Angeles this year.
The latest quarterly report shows there has been 9.1% drop in shooting days.
In fact film, television and commercials, have seen a 13% production drop in the past few years.
Critics say this year's current drop is mainly due to the absence of early-year pilot shooting.
Early-year pilot shooting used to be a reliable source of shooting days from January to April, but shooting culture in LA has changed.
